    WinXP Security on Drexel Network

    In planning for the academic year 2002-03, IRT recommended new computers run Windows XP Professional operating system. Inasmuch as retail computer vendors sell systems with WinXP Home, your new computer might benefit from an upgrade. This decision is up to each user to make, but IRT has provided a set of instructions to follow when upgrading from XP Home to XP Professional. Why upgrade? For users who wish to join the Drexel domain, XP Professional is a must. Check out the following HelpCentral support documents from IRT before you upgrade:
