Reviewing later. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 23:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Check the "External links" part of the GA toolbox. Some of the links are dead or are linking to completely different things.
- You will have to check each reference to see if they still link to the thing you want.
- Done All references checked and furnished with archive links. Ones that were either dead or seemingly not relevant have been removed or replaced. The 'too many refs in one place' issue below may still exist, I've not checked thoroughly for that yet. ƒirefly ( t · c · who? ) 23:46, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Improvements were also made to IntelliMirror features such as Offline Files, Roaming user profiles and Folder redirection." ^{[citation needed]}

"SP2 added new functionality to Windows XP, such as WPA encryption compatibility and improved Wi-Fi support (with a wizard utility), a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer 6, and partial Bluetooth support." ^{[citation needed]}
- What improvements did the Wi-fi support have?
Features of SP3 fit better in prose, and they also need references.
Link logical processor, and there's no need to go into detail what it is

Avoid starting sentences with the same words/phrase.
Avoid having too many references at a time.
"According to web analytics data" repeats three times in Market share section. Get rid of it or reword it.

Done - I've removed the latter two paragraphs, as they don't really add any information not provided elsewhere. ƒirefly ( t · c · who? ) 09:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References need various things that is needed to be completed. For example, access dates, publishers, dates, authors, etc.
Images are copyrighted, but there are no realistic alternatives.

Plenty of things to fix before it becomes a GA. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 05:03, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
