Microsoft Releases Windows XP SP3... Again

After a week's delay because of a compatibility bug in the point-of-sale software it sells, Microsoft Corp. today released Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) to the general public.

Windows XP users who manually called up Windows Update early Tuesday afternoon, Eastern time, found SP3 waiting. "Windows XP SP3 contains a small number of new updates and should not significantly change the Windows XP experience," the Windows Update message read in part. "After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer."

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9210h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
