Like the shambling horrors which suck out your brains and won’t die unless you cut off the head, Windows XP apparently will shuffle like the undead until 2012. This comes from Thurott’s SuperSite via a Dell representatives note to a reader. The note clearly states that Dell will continue to offer Windows XP Professional available on several of its product lines. I can’t say that I’m all that surprised, considering Steve “Lunatic” Ballmer himself stated that Vista is incomplete.

Speaking of incomplete, Microsoft’s Zune portable tribute to the color brown is apparently getting Audible audio book support before the end of the year. Okay. Maybe what I really mean is whoop dee doo! Considering how long it took to get the incomplete Vista out the door, I shouldn’t be shocked at how long it would take Microsoft to add the ability to play audio files to its “popular” media player. We’ll confirm these when we can.
