Microsoft is ready to go ahead with the full-scale launch of its new Windows XP operating system next month, with a major event in New York City as the city recovers from last week's attack on the World Trade Center, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said Wednesday. "If New York wants us, I'm sure we'll want to be there," said Ballmer, fielding questions from several hundred software executives at a Chicago Software Association luncheon. "We had been planning on a big launch for Windows XP in New York City, and I know we'll have discussions with the mayor and his staff before we proceed," Ballmer said.
