The XP in Microsoft products released around 2001-2005 was intended to be an abbreviated form of "experience". It was supposed to emphasise the fact that the products had been designed to give the user a better, quicker and more intuitive experience.

In marking documentation the text "eXPerience" was sometimes used, to emphasise the relationship between the product name and the intended meaning.
