[link=http://www.winnetmag.com]Winnetmag[/link] has reported that Microsoft, despite repeated denials, will indeed release an interim version of Windows XP.

[blockquote]The interim XP version will ship as a new retail product that replaces existing retail boxed copies of XP and as a set of updates, called XP Reloaded, that existing XP users can install separately. According to sources I contacted this morning, XP Reloaded will include all the features from XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which is due by midyear, as well as a host of other unique features, including Windows Media Player (WMP) 10.

    since XP Reloaded makes me think of Matrix Reloaded, i think this will be decidedly dissapointing

    Yes, it was quite disappointing eh? Why not "Win XP: Return of the Patches", "Lord of the Twin Service Packs", or something based on a good movie. I see potential here for photochop on the retail cover already. Dogsoldier?

    I think Microsoft's entire marketing division needs to be fired...

    Hrm... wanna hear my opinion of the movie? I fell asleep 3 times and I do appreciate an intelligent plot in a movie, but I can not take those movies seriously when they star Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburn. Worst. Actors. Evar.
