Redmond , WA - Microsoft announced today that they are ready to take advantage of the industry shift towards dual-core processors. Microsoft has released the new “dual-core licensing edition” of Windows XP. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the new edition of Windows at a press event today.

“This new edition of Windows will allow our users to realize the benefits of two licenses for each physical machine to make the most of their dual-core processors.”

Windows XP Dual-Core License edition employs a technology known as License Level Parallelism (LLP) which allows for the concurrent collecting of license revenue from a single physical machine.
