XP Reloaded won't be an interim release
WinNetMag | at | by Mike
Microsoft won't be shipping XP Reloaded as an interim OS release but is instead still wrestling with how to market and package an operating system--Windows XP--that has changed dramatically in the three years since it was first released. Like Windows Server 2003, Windows XP has seen numerous excellent free (and nearly free) "out of band" updates in the past three years. By late 2004, this will include two service packs, two major updates to Windows Media Player, several major security enhancements and changes to wireless networking, several instant messaging updates, and much more.
