I've been wondering.

I know what NT means, I know what ME is. I even know what PCMCIA stands for. But I'll be spanked if I know what XP means.

I did some searching and couldn't come up with anything solid.

Most seem to think it's for eXPerience. There are some other interesting proposals and ideas. Nothing that really smacks of the truth though.

Here is one interesting link I found.

Anyone know the scoop? What the *$#% does XP stand for?
