From Tweak Town, 6/18... "... Originally, Microsoft was only planning on XP downgrades for six months following the launch of Windows 7. This has now been extended out to 18 months or the release of Windows 7's first service pack. Given the success of Windows 7 so far and the increase in quality that has been seen in the beta and RC versions, it should be quite some time before we see SP1 for Windows 7...." _______________________________ At this rate, Dell's T3400 will have a C2Q as the "base" model's CPU by the time XP is exhausted...
