XP slated for marketing burst
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is trying to give Windows XP a new lease on life. The software maker is gearing up for a big fall ad blitz for the three-year-old operating system. The campaign is slated to start in September, with ads touting the security improvements of Windows XP Service Pack 2. As the security push starts to wind down in mid-October, Microsoft's marketing will focus on new technologies that build on Windows XP, including portable media centers and a new version of Windows Media Center.
