Ballmer: Windows is finally stable

"We're expecting twice as many sales of Windows XP as we sold copies of Windows 95," predicted Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer on his visit to London this morning to launch the new operating system. He also held out the promise of a "family pack" XP that would allow homes with more than one PC to upgrade several computers for a greatly reduced price. Ballmer gave the expected booster speech, describing XP as the "no compromise" operating system--both reliable, and compatible. He also said that "anybody committed to a corporate roll-out of Windows 2000 should go ahead with that, and not disrupt their current plans" but that anybody thinking of upgrading from NT should go straight to XP.
