Wow! Great news! XP Home came preinstalled on my Sony laptop a year ago and I was beginning to fret about no support. Whew! Thanks, My Secret

Well, yes I agree that this is good news. I also realize that it makes good business sense. I wonder if in the morning meeting at Microsoft the word "Oops" was heard when looking at the reaction to Vista from the average person on the street. Duh!!!
