    The article is dated Wednesday 04 February 2004. So this is more like News for Nerds. Stuff that mattered.

    Come to think of it, you get stale news on Slashdot but you don't pay for them, so it's like selling crap to the poor too. Only in this case, the price is right.

    I think they'll just rename "ME" to "XP", and sell that old piece of crap OS and hope nobody notices it.
