Boy, how can I buy this. I would much rather have a slightly crippled version rather than the massively crippled version that Microsoft supplied my OEM for use with my notebook.

X = ascii(88)
P = ascii(80)
So in MS logic, we will have to substract 11 from both letters because 11 is binary for 3 and this is the third version of XP.
ascii (88-11) = ascii(77) = M
ascii (80-11) = ascii(69) = E
Hence, this version will be known as Windows ME.

How apropos.

Microsoft selling a "slightly crippled" XP is like Evian selling a "slightly wet" water.

It's even more restrictive than that! I tried to connect to Windows Update with Mozilla. Not only do they require you to use IE but they insisted that "You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update."
