BIE just released MicrosoftWindowsXPProfessional SP3 Integrated March 2011. Thanks BiA for this, many of us are still onXP.
With Windows XP Professional Edition with Service Pack 3, you get safer browsing and communication, powerful security tools, and improved experiences. Windows XP is the operating system release that unifies the Microsoft range, with all the desktop versions now built on the NT/2000 code base rather than the shakier foundation of Windows 95, 98, and Me. That makes XP a great upgrade for users of the now-obsolete 9x and Me line, but for those already on Windows 2000 Professional it is a closer call. Despite the similar name, there is no special synergy between Windows XP and Office XP, which works fine on Windows 2000.
首先要解决的就是中文的正确显示。打开控制面板，点击“Data, Time, Language , and Regional Options”，然后再点击“Regional and Language Options”，会弹出一个窗口，打开这个窗口的“Languages”选项卡，选中“Install files for East Asian languages(安装东亚语言支持)”，然后点击“Apply”。这时系统可能会要求你插入操作系统的安装光盘并复制一些文件，完成后会重启动。启动好，所有的中文文件和中文网页就都可以正常打开和使用了。
网上很多人说，对于英文版的Windows XP，只要安装中文语言包就可以正确显示中文，其实这是不对的。中文语言包只能让英文版操作系统的界面由英文变成中文，并且要安装中文语言包，也要先装东亚语言支持;其次，中文语言包只能给英文版Windows XP Professional 安装，Home版并不能装语言包;最后，多国语言包不出售和提供下载，只是给一些大的企业用户准备的，个人和小用户并不容易得到。
同样是在控制面板的“Regional and Language Options”设置下，打开“Advanced”选项卡，在这里有一个“Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use”的设置，这里就是给你的非Unicode程序设置语言环境的。如果你比较常用简体中文的非Unicode程序，就在这里的下拉菜单中选择“Chinese(PRC)”，然后确定并重启动电脑。这样就可以正常使用这些程序了。图片看不全可以点击一下看到全图
