Windows XP is Microsoft’s best operating system to date, Windows 7 has only just recently taken over Windows XP installed base.  So I guess it really is time to upgrade if your using Windows XP to read this.

Apple is now a bigger company than Microsoft and Steve Jobs is no longer with us. It’s then may be perhaps fitting that Microsoft has also released a video looking into the future.
