Today is the big WindowsXP launch day from Microsoft. Here's the official PR announcing it etc. You should be able to find copies of the new OS from Microsoft on shelves all over the place, super exciting! A pretty strong recommendation for upgrading from Windows 98 to XP, although Windows2000 users can just take your sweet time as there doesnt appear to be a heck of a lot of reason to upgrade just yet. There are reviews all over the place, just load up your typical tech websites ZD , CNET etc. Most share the same opinion we've been seeing for a while, the registration stuff is annoying and Microsoft requires that you name your firstborn child after them along with purchase. Seems reasonable!
