yep swordfish's right,

Q. What does "XP" represent?

A. XP stands for "experience"—specifically, an exciting new set of experiences enabled by this new release.

Thats cute fancyf!!!

I'll keep a copy of that one.

Kinda reminds me of something that was passed around many years ago, and you will just need to get a mental picture `cause I have not seen the actual image in years.

This farmer type guy is sitting on a rail fence when a wolf, chasing a rabbit ran by. The farmer asked the rabbit..."you think you gonna make it...Mr. Rabbit"? The rabbit answered..."Make it!?!...man!! I GOTTA MAKE IT"!!

But, knowing how others feel about Winxp.. your answer is probably as good as any.

Windows XP Launch Remarks (http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/speeches/2001/10-25winxplaunch.asp)
New York City
Oct. 25, 2001

BILL GATES: Well you know, Regis, I’ve always wanted to be on your show. (Laughter.)

REGIS PHILBIN: Yeah, if anybody needs a million, it’s you. (Laughter, applause.) Weren’t you on my show yesterday?

BILL GATES: Well, that was Kelly’s show, wasn’t it? (Laughter.)

REGIS PHILBIN: Easy, Bill, easy. Easy on the funny stuff. (Laughter.) You mean my other show, you mean the Millionaire show. We’d love to have you on that show.

BILL GATES: All right.

REGIS PHILBIN: Yeah, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Bill Gates does. (Laughter.) Do you think it’s worth your time? (Laughter, applause.)

BILL GATES: Well, I don’t know. It would be fun.

REGIS PHILBIN: Yeah, I think it will be, if you can get past the faster thinker questions.

BILL GATES: Oh, I can do it.

REGIS PHILBIN: Sure you can. All right, let’s start with some easy XP Windows questions, okay, see how much you really know about this product. (Laughter.) Here we go.

The first question coming up: Bill Gates, what does the XP in Windows XP stand for? Is it extreme power, expediency, experience, supercalifragilistic-XP-alidocious? (Laughter.)

BILL GATES: Well, it’s a pretty easy one. I think I’ll go with C.

REGIS PHILBIN: Experience? You say experience, final answer?

BILL GATES: Final answer.

REGIS PHILBIN: All right. And you’re right. Bill Gates, you’ve just won a hundred dollars. (Applause.) Experience is the right answer.

All right, we’ll get another question up here. Which of these is not -- not a Windows XP experience? Would it be digital music, mobility, digital photography, new Millionaire game that replaces solitaire? (Laughter.)

BILL GATES: Well, we may have missed an opportunity, but I think it’s D.
