How do you know MS will not offer a patch for XP when the time comes?
Remember, these new hard drives don't even hit the market till the end of January of next year

XP will be put to pasture (no more updates) by year end or early next year-NO? PPL will be forced to upgrade their Hardware to run WIN 7 or actually buy Vista, can you imagine anyone buying Vista?

WIN 7, 64 bit rocks.

from the article:
“XP users, on the other hand, may encounter some problems.

Windows XP must use an emulation layer that makes the 4KB sectors appear to be several 512 byte ones. This won’t have much of an impact when reading from the disk, but could lead to”

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought that was the point of the article under discussion -XP users are are of luck - left in the cold by MS for not upgrading to vista or win 7
