    expansions packs have been called XP way before microsoft "eXPerience" came out. but i like calling it an add on, or a finialized game...

      Next, I hope someone writes up a complete history of the two letters and their recent and past correlations, and then someone hits the "reply w/ quote" button and just says "you're right."

          So, Eroberer, you are saying that Microsoft hijacked "XP".

          Other hijacks:
          Adolph Hitler hijacked Charlie Chaplain's mustache. To continue on a bad theme: The swastika used to be an honorable religious symbol.

          The U.S. used to celebrate May 1 (May Day), but the Soviets made it a MAJOR holiday, so we stopped celebrating it.

            XP is for Expansion Pack

            And we obviously can't use EP, since then, everyone would think of Elephant Power.

              And what does using XP have to do with being gay?

                Everything and nothing at the same time Tuberski. Now if yall wanna talk about the hijacking of words....


                XP wasn't hijacked, because it was never used for "expansion pack." You're all deluded by its greatly increased use since Microsoft pulled it from obscurity (since it very likely did belong to an automatic sliced cheese pack opener or something at one time).

                  XP when I was in high school, always meant eXperience Points. Not expansion pack or anything else.
