Microsoft says 74 percent of work PCs still use Windows XP, extends downgrade rights until 2020
The latest Microsoft operating system may be selling seven copies a second , but it’s no match for the behemoth Windows XP, still the most popular OS in the world despite recent nefarious attempts (we kid) to invoke spontaneous shutdowns , slow hard drives and trigger blue screens . In fact, a Microsoft exec admitted today that practically three-quarters of business computers still run the nine-year-old OS on hardware averaging 4.4 years old, and Computerworld ‘s now reporting Microsoft will extend XP’s lifespan through 2020 (you read that right) as a result.

Sony’s Andrew House: PSP Go launched in part to ‘learn more about what the consumer wanted’
Sony’s certainly been fairly candid when discussing the PSP Go in the past, but SCEE CEO Andrew House went quite a bit further than usual in discussing the download-only handheld with MCV recently. When asked if he considered the PSP Go to be a success, he responded by saying that saying that it was “introduced in a mature lifecycle to learn more about what the consumer wanted,” and that Sony has “definitely learned a lot,” adding that “one of the reasons we launched PSP Go was to understand where that consumer behavior was going.” He further went on to say that Sony was “getting signals from consumers that this was the kind of device that they wanted,” but says that Sony needs to “recognize that consumers like their packaged media library.” Does that mean a return to physical media for the eventual PSP 2? House unsurprisingly wouldn’t say, but we have feeling Sony will be getting plenty of questions about it at E3 next week
