Microsoft Australia has announced that October 25th 2001 marks the retail launch of Microsoft Windows XP.
 
Some of our readers may have noticed television ads promoting this new product featuring the song Ray of Light by Madonna, but thanks to a grand launch event to be held at Super Dome in Sydney's Olympic park on this date AM more will be revealed at this event.

The event is open to all members of the public and Australia is in a unique situation - due to our timezone this region will be first to launch the product and the first in the world to access retail copies of Windows XP.
