Microsoft: XP SE Not Happening (Finally?!) | |
|
||
| Time: 14:21 EST/19:21 GMT | News Source: WinInformant | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||
In yesterday's WinInfo Daily UPDATE article titled "Next-Gen Windows Rumors Heat Up," I discussed a report from "Microsoft Windows XP--The Official Magazine" that described Windows XP Service Pack (SP1) and a purported follow-up release called XP Second Edition (SE). This publication is the second to publish information about an XP SE release since I speculated that such a product was possible back in January. However, Microsoft says XP SE isn't on the schedule. "There are no plans for Windows XP Second Edition," a Microsoft representative told me yesterday. Microsoft will release XP SP1 this fall, and then begin the beta program for the next Windows version (code-named Longhorn). But Longhorn isn't set to ship until sometime in 2004, leaving an empty release slot in late 2003. The fact that Microsoft has shipped a new consumer Windows product every year since 1995 has led to speculation about XP SE. | ||

BTW... the media pundits who were dissing XP as a no-new-thing upgrade are now changing their minds after actually using the product extensively...
http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/02/04/15/020415opconnection.xml "BACK IN SEPTEMBER, a misguided soul in the technology press wrote the following about the release of the Windows XP "gold code" to manufacturers: "I've never been less excited about a major software release from Microsoft than I have been about Windows XP." The same misguided, so-called journalist went on to miss everything that was interesting and compelling about Windows XP." |
