I don't understand that how is this topic related to Windows XP?

^^ Since Zune software can be installed in Windows XP SP3, this topic was also posted in Windows XP section. I dont have access to XP atm, so was not able to check whether this Fixit works in XP or not. If you can please let me know, I'll update the topic.

@VG Well, atm I don't have access to a Windows Phone/Zune Device, so, oh well!

Hey VG, I was wondering if the Kin "m" series have any upgraded or alternate Operating Systems that provide more functionality, or even a development kit. I'm wondering because I don't have the money for a "smart" phone, and the Kin has several appealing aspects, especially the Metro design language (it is my favorite design interface) stands out to me. I'm just wondering if it is worth my time and money though.
