New Vision, WindowsXP is not going to be the huge revenue monster people think it will be, IMO.

On the enterprise side, Windows 2000 is the OS of choice. Not too many people are upgrading their home systems from 98/95 to ME, so you can't assume they'll do the same for XP.

In the end, it's box sales that will move the new XP, and if they can't get an additional $5 for a license, it's a wash, since people don't buy PC boxes for the OS.
