Windows XP SP1a

First update pack for Windows XP.

Windows XP is the Microsoft operating system with the longest life span, having spent time as the main operating system of many computers for a lot longer than any other operating system.

  Having been launched in 2001, there are still people that prefer it to other later operating systems by Microsoft, due to its stability and the low use of computer resources, even when the last stable version of this OS by the Redmond giant was launched on the 21st of April 2008.

  A Service Pack is an update pack that compiles security parches, error fixes and stability and performance improvements.

  During its lifespan Windows XP has had three Service Packs. But before they launched the first once Microsoft has to launch the Windows XP SP1a, that included a few new features, with the main purpose of eliminating the Microsoft virtual machine that could launch Java applications due to legal conflicts with its owner, Sun Microsystems.

  Each day there are more applications written in this programing language, so you will need the Java Virtual Machine download, that you can find here at Malavida.com to be able to enjoy them.

  A controversial Service Pack ideal for those who still have the old Windows XP operating system without any updates.

  Requirements: This download is compatible with Windows XP, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows XP Professional Edition. It can't be installed on Windows XP that has previously installed a later Service Pack.
