OT: Microsoft extends XP again, sort-of

Some new information on a topic that came up here before:
Microsoft today that in addition to allowing XP on new
ultraportables through sometime in 2010, it will also allow
it on so-called "nettop" class desktops, which are a vaguely
defined class of low-end machine.
This pretty much ensures that nobody will have to run Vista
before it's replaced, and also means you won't have to
buy a little tiny notebook just to get a new XP machine.
(Although some of them look pretty nice, like the MSI Wind.)
