You people need some real world experience and get off your geek asses
to get it. Windows XP is alive and well. As a matter of fact I know
if one very large Airline company that will not upgrade to Vista or
any other new MS product until the product has a proven 5 year tract
record.
They still use XP as do many others. I run XP in two machines and
Vista in two. My next machine will come with XP installed even if I
have to pay extra.

The alpha might, but according to Mary Jo Farley at
http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=...col1;post-5572
"[Microsoft's] Hachamovitch said in a Q&A with press and analysts
following the keynote that IE 9 will not support XP. (No big surprise
there.) "
