This is the last week that Windows XP will be sold.<br><br>Steve Jobs loves Ballmer<br><br>

Well what's the scoop on when Windows 7 arrives?<br><br>Jan 2010 as M$ says , or maybe Dec. 2010 or early 2011 ? . .or 2012 ? ha ha ha<br><br>Should we set up a pot ? <br><br>David (OFI)

M$ may be selling themselves short and corporate deployment of Vista isn't going to happen very soon. Those companies who have fully deployed XP will stick to that since it works for them. How long did folks cling to 95? Maybe in six years, Vista will have come of age. <br><br>
