U.S. software giant Microsoft Corp drummed up publicity for Windows XP, its most ambitious operating system, by signing up high-profile corporate users in Asia ahead of its launch in New York on Thursday. In Singapore, Microsoft said DBS Bank, Southeast Asia's largest bank, and Singapore Exchange Ltd, the country's stock market, were the first two corporate users of the Windows Messenger feature built into Windows XP. In New Delhi, Microsoft said several leading Indian organizations such as the National Stock Exchange, software giant Infosys and pharma leader Ranbaxy Labs had agreed to adopt the product.
