From TechRepublic…

The end is near for Windows XP: what are you going to do? | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com: “After years of tweaking, patching, and otherwise cajoling the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, many administrators and users feel comfortable with their current systems. But now the writing is on the wall, and the dominance of Windows XP in the marketplace is slowly but surely being squeezed by Windows Vista, Linux, Mac OS X, and eventually Windows 7.”

Wikipedia has some interesting information on Office 2010…

Microsoft Office 2010 – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: “Microsoft Office 2010, codenamed Office 14, is the successor of Microsoft Office 2007, a productivity suite for Microsoft Windows.[1] Extended file compatibility[2], user interface updates[3], and a refined user experience[4] are planned for Office 2010. With the introduction of Office 2010 a 64-bit version of Office will be available for the first time.[5] It will be available for Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7.[6] Furthermore, Office 2010 will mark the debut of free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, which will work in the three most popular web browsers (Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari).
