Jda we will see.
I worked as a computer consultant for over 20 years.
Just left a large bank.
There was ZERO talk about upgrading to XP.
I restate there simply is no reason.
If MSFT raises prices 10% then companies might put it off 2 more years. The large banks etc that I have worked for are trying to cut expenses. This upgrade (not much in features BTW) is simply an expense that does not need to be taken now.

XP earnings are going to suck IMHO.
We will see.
Waiting for MSFT to warn.

I see the great MSFT XP debate continues..
FWIW tried to load my Kodak 290 software last night so I could download pictures off digital camera.
It wouldnt load cause the Kodak software was pre-XP so I went to the Kodak site and it told me that XP had its own software that supported my camera and I just downloaded directly from XP..
XP is incredible..IMHO..
