Countdown Begins: New XP Editions
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft will launch two new editions of Windows XP in the coming weeks, capping off a year of improvements to the best selling Windows version ever. Windows XP Media Center Edition, designed for home-based Media Center PCs, will launch on October 29, with two PCs makers--Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Samsung--signed on, and more to follow in 2003. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition--aimed at a new class of notebook computers--will launch November 7, with a wealth of third party support. Both launches are taking place in New York City, and both products will only be made available with the special types of PCs they target.
