Microsoft is backing up Windows XP the latest version of its ubiquitous operating system, with a massive advertising campaign, aiming to spur sales of software and hardware as the economy continues to slow down.What features is Microsoft touting in its new baby? According to its own evaluation page, Windows XP lets you create movies, handle digital photos, play music, share one computer among many people, and "enjoy an all-in-one entertainment center" -- evidently a combination of the first four items. In other words, what Microsoft is mostly pushing are new applications bundled with Windows XP: Windows Movie Maker, Windows Messenger and Windows Media Player.
