The new build, dubbed SP2c, includes no fixes or feature changes, but was created simply to address the shrinking pool of product keys. XP Pro SP2c, which has been released to manufacturing, will be made available to OEMs and system builders next month, said Microsoft. Xp is still selling strong, at numbers far above Microsoft's projections and desires. Theoretically XP is still scheduled to begin phase out at the end of January 2008, but with a new release going out in September you have to expect that to be extended at least some. Jay

Hmm, perhaps Micorosft is seeing GOLD in them thar hills of Old. Lenovo is selling massive qtys of XP vs Vista. Dell is still selling about 60% XP of the Windows being sold to corporations. Many consumers are still buying XP, or other OSes. HP is stealth selling now... from what I hear you have to know the URL to get to it and it isn't purty. Acer, believe it or not also has been dabbling... -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`

And, my Lapper has 2 Windows versions on it already. The WindowsXP regular working edition and the Windows2000 version for Diagnostics. But, if I could I'd just have all Linux and no Windows what so ever, it feels icky-gooey (or GUI). -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* `PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0 Alternate Fingerprint: 455F E104 22CA 29C4 933F 9505 2B79 2AB2`

Vista is in use in extremely limited quantities. Mostly compatibility testing for our products. We have several critical internal apps that simply won't run on Vista. ----------------------------------------- Atheism is a religion in the same sense that not collecting stamps is a hobby.
