Windows XP to Speak Bluetooth | |

In a move that could represent a boost for the Bluetooth short-range wireless communications specification, Microsoft has released to manufacturers Windows XP Support for Bluetooth-Enabled Devices. A software layer with appropriate programming interfaces was sent out to developers this week, but users shouldn't expect to see native Windows XP support from Bluetooth hardware manufacturers for another three to six months, says a Microsoft spokesperson. In order for users to take advantage of the support, they'll also need to install Windows XP Service Pack 1, which is now available for download or can be ordered on CD. | ||
