PURVEYOR OF SOFTWARE, Microsoft has released a new version of Windows XP to manufacturing for shipment to OEMs next month, says Technet.

Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2c resolves a shortage of product keys caused by the longevity of Windows XP Professional, says the company. In order to allow OEMs to ship XP right up to its end-of-life on January 31, 2009. There are no other features or fixes included in the new version.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
