SOX...
No, I've not a closet baseball follower, a fan of a certain New England team; nor am I a follower of any of the bands of that name; and do I not have a predilection for ensuring my frozen desserts remain cold in a stylish, colour-matched way; no, I'm afraid nothing so "cool"...
SOX is "Save Our XP", a campaign by InfoWorld to ensure Windows XP continues to be available after the impending deadline of June 30. As there are no sound commercial reasons for them to stop, and it seems deeply inappropriate for the supplier to be forcing the customer to make high impact changes to their business for zero gain to anyone. Except Microsoft, of course. Join the 96,424 people (as of Feb. 25) who have signed InfoWorld's petition to demand that Microsoft not stop OEM and shrinkwrapped sales of Windows XP as planned on June 30, 2008, but instead keep it available indefinitely. Go on, go sign!
