Microsoft has revealed final retail pricing for Windows XP, a day after Amazon.com leaked the information on the Web for a second time.
Microsoft is preparing to clear an important hurdle for delivering Windows XP, but outside forces still could trip up the new operating system.
A security hole in servers run by Conxion, Microsoft's Web hosting partner, allowed people to download a testing version of Windows XP without paying for it for the second time in two weeks.
Even though Microsoft has claimed victory in restoring its MSN Messenger service, some problems linger--including the opportunity the outage provided for the company's competitors.
As if Microsoft didn't have enough trouble this week with a prolonged outage of its MSN Messenger service, the company has also stumbled in its delivery of a preview version of its Windows XP operating system to more than 100,000 testers.
Microsoft has released a new preview version of its forthcoming OS, but as the final release date approaches, Windows XP has become a lightning rod for the company's many detractors.
Microsoft issued Windows XP Release Candidate 1 (RC1) last week, and although it looks like XP's far from finished, the candidate does give us a better sense of Windows XP's hardware requirements.
