In the middle of Germany we had about 4° C at 8:30 in the morning. But at least it's sunny. 
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Eek, I also work in the middle of Germany on occasion. Is it really that cold still? Its was a nice summer last year though, very nice.

Not at all, it's a will-o’-the-wisp! May be consequence of a martian cimetery?

Cool post, John, but I just couldn't resist the infantile response. Forgive me; I have sinned. And I greatly look forward to doing so again.

Someone beamed down and saw they were being watched and beamed right back up. We should have been hiding.

Well, to know what "XP" in "Windows XP" really means, we need a bit of a history lesson.
Way back in the 70's, Xerox came up with the idea of a mouse and graphical user interface (GUI).
Apple's Steve Jobs saw this GUI & mouse and stole hired engineers away from Xerox to create the Mac.
Clickity Proof[^]
Well, a few years later ol' Bill (of the Gates variety) saw the mousey & GUI and wanted his own rendition of it. But, alas, patents and prior art (first use) stood in the way. So, he struck a deal with Jobs on using some of the Mac interface in Windows 1.0.
Well, a few years later, Apple decided to sue both H.P. and Microsoft for copyright infringements. But, that $5 Billion lawsuit was awash for Apple. More Clickity Proof[^]
Well, a few years later, Xerox decides to sue Apple for copyright infringements. Suffice to say, the suit eventually got tossed. Even More Clickity Proof[^]
Well, we now get to jump 11 years ahead to 2001.
Apple intro's Mac OS X on March 24, 2001.
Not wanting to feel left behind, Microsoft intros Windows XP on October 25, 2001.
Now, most tech-heads will denote that the "X" in Mac OS X is a moniker for "Unix"; e.g., HP/UX, IBM A/IX, etc.
However, being a 10-year Apple veteran during that 80's & 90's era, my conclusion is to the contrary.
That "X" in Mac OS X really means "Xerox". For, Apple couldn't go on hiding what they really did ~ that being taking the idea from Xerox in the first place.
Low, and behold, Bill[ionaire] Gates wanted to set the record perfectly straight, which is why he had Microsoft use "XP", which stands for:

Pretty sure XP stands for "eXPerience"
