Windows XP may spark ultimate battle to own the Net

Despite its relatively benign appearance, Windows XP carries monumental significance for the high-technology industry and the Internet.

The new operating system has some interesting features such as expanded instant messaging and online photo processing, but it is considered far from necessary for consumers and businesses. Its true impact will be felt as the first public step in a controversial strategy to transform Microsoft from a traditional software company into a global network of services ranging from communication to entertainment on a subscription basis.

If successful, Microsoft could challenge AOL Time Warner and other media giants for control of the Internet and entirely new industries--similar to the way it has dominated the software market, locking customers into Microsoft-sanctioned goods and services.

I've been using both Win2000 and Win XP and they're both impressive systems. Even more so when my unlocked AMD Athlon XP 1700+ arrives.
