From the Paper:

"The nature of technology is to follow a continuous course of growth and improvement. Therefore it is natural to assume that the same be said for computer programs, especially those that have gained such popularity as the Microsoft Windows program for PCs. Windows XP, WIndows 2000, and Windows 2003 are the current favorite versions for Windows users. Each has distinct and unique properties, but share some similar features as well. Users particular needs and desires can be fulfilled by one of these versions."
