XP -> ? -> Longhorn

Thurrott, citing unnamed sources, claims that there will be a super-sized update to Windows XP before Longhorn ships.  The functionality will include XP SP2 as well as a number of new things, including Windows Media Player 10.  The most interesting aspect of this is that it sounds like a big Plus pack; it may be downloadable from the web and the user may choose which features to install.

Rumors about a Windows XP "Second Edition" are floating around for some time now. I found an article talking about this (sorry, in French), and quoting someone from Acer who explains that this XP SE will also provide support for 2 simultaneous users, a mandatory feature for Smart Displays. But hey, since this article was published, MS announced that plans around Smart displays were stopped. This person from Acer should check her sources ;-)

Haha. Yup, recall hearing that, too. It's too bad they discontinued the SDs. I was really looking forward to getting one when the price went down. Oh well...
