"I hope it's any day now,'' Ballmer told a news conference in Mexico City. "We're trying to finish up Windows XP very quickly. We are in the final stages, I think that is fair to say.''
Ballmer also said Microsoft was still readying the Xbox video game console for its North America launch in November as planned, addressing recurring concerns in the game industry that the launch date might be pushed back.
"The Xbox project from a schedule perspective is something that's been kind of challenging, trying to get to market very quickly. The team is still marching away trying to finish things up. There is certainly no change to report though,'' he said.
