what does the xp in windows stand for?

Actually, it's not "xp". These are Greek letters, "Chi" and "Rho" who stand for "c" ad "r", the first two letters of the name of Christ. In 312, when emperor Constantin was marching with his army, he looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words "en touta nika" ("in this, win"), a phrase often rendered into Latin as "in hoc signo vinces"  ("in this sign, you will win"). He then decided that the military standards used in his later wars should show the Chi-Rho sign. The Windows XP logo it's a big cross with the word "Windows" that sounds like "win does", that is "[this sign] will do the victory", and the Chi-Rho sign, a clear reference to Constantine and the symbols of the Roman Catholic Church (Bill Gates says he's atheis but his wife Melinda is catholic). They don't want the people know because they are afraid of the reaction of the muslim world.

Hi, 

What XP stands for in Windows - Can you elaborate 

The name actual "XP" is short for "experience".

It was also codenamed Whistler because many of the software developers at the time skied at Whistler-Blackcome ski resort in British Columbia.
