<< the orcl benchmark is good. there was a 300 people wait outside our local compusa to get their hands on xp. they sold out and some folks were scalping the new pc's and upgrades outside; like an aution. wild. the manager said that the store is backlogged for 2-3 weeks. amazing. >>

I'm shocked to hear you acknowledge a MSFT success, or at least signs of one.

Congrats on the ORCl benchmark results.

Dave

Impressive. The Windows XP release hasn't got much media attention over here. No TV advertisements, and I haven't seen any banner ads. It has been told as a small story in some media, but not all of them.

Those places where XP is mentioned, they focus on product activation and price increase. I haven't seen any media except Windows related computer magazines telling about advantages to Windows 98 or 2000.

Lars.
