Text:       The most important things are it is a true 32 bit code (runs 
quicker) and it is a true multi-tasking (threading) architecture.  Other 
things will include: Better memory control/regulation, (applications cannot 
overwrite other applications memory) built in networking, better security for 
logging in, and the architecture will allow it to run on different hardware.
