Testers hint update will look less like XP and more like an entertainment-hub operating system. On Thursday, Microsoft sent out invitations to the launch of the next version of its Windows XP Media Center Edition product on September 30. The launch will be held simultaneously in Redmond, Wash.; Los Angeles; San Francisco; and New York City.
This summer at Microsoft's annual financial analyst day, Microsoft Group VP Jim Allchin told attendees that Microsoft would ship the next version of Media Center Edition - codenamed "Harmony" - before the end of Microsoft's fiscal 2004. (Microsoft's fiscal year ends June 30.)
