If you're sick of Microsoft's touchy-feely Madonna-backed Jesus-titled Windows XP media barrage at the moment, take a quick gander at the page heading for the 3Com Discontinued Products page. I hope the one-tree-hill iconography means that Windows XP will soon become an unsupported product ... at least, an unsupported desktop OS. Microsoft wants a part of the action in the palmtop market -- but does 3Com need XP? (It has been pointed out in a letter to The Age's IT supplement that the letters XP, `Chi' and `Rho' were once shorthand for Ch-r-ist. Does anyone else want an Xbox for Xmas this year? Media-jamming graffiti campaign, anyone? IBM and Sony have already indulged in footpath graffiti campaigns, "Peace Love and Linux" in NY and the blue-square-question-mark respectively. MS have vague TV and billboard advertisments running in Australia currently, if they hit the footpaths, let the gamez begin =c]
