This was an end to the MS-DOS-based Windows 9x era. It introduced a more stable Windows NT Kernel to home users for the very first time.

Its release marked the beginning for both Microsoft and end-users as one. It was that year when the world saw the introduction of Windows XP. A time when just over 50% of Americans used the internet. Back in 2001, when Twitter, Instagram, and various social media platforms weren’t around. When composing this article, I used VirtualBox to review the operating systems that are mentioned in this story. Usually, I’ll upload content like this on my personal platforms, but I’ve decided to go into depth on how my passion started with the environment I was familiar with at that time. However, when I received a message on my Instagram asking about my passion for IT, I was certainly open to the idea of discussing some topics. Garcia, Editor in Chief 2021-2022Īs a writer for my school newspaper, The WestSide Story, most of my articles consist of politics. By the way, I downloaded one of the Microsoft tools and put it on a disk and I think maybe because it was in the drive at the time I started my PC up that it may have caused it to read as “Microsoft Whistler Personal” as the OS.Diamond M. I find it very hard to trust anyone, especially if its free, when there are so many fake programs out there. I would try to get rid of it myself if I could find precise and accurate instructions by Microsoft( after all it is their product that is involved here). It seems Microsoft has decided to give free tools and support for these nasties and they have already helped me once before to get rid of “Malware Defender”. I have a Trojan called Desktop Defender 2010 which hijacked my Desktop, Task manager ETC so I decided to let Microsoft help me get rid of it instead of trying to tackle it on my own. I too did a boot in safe mode and my only choice was Whistler personal as OS but I stopped there and did not continue.
