Windows XP Support Extended until 2014
We can still use the best OS made from Microsoft until windows7 comes out.
That way we can skip the horrible VISTA monster.
Even though MS would like XP to vanish and everyone to buy Vista - Crapista
many companies will still be offering XP with new computers via various
workarounds.
The demand for XP will be very strong until and if a better version of
windows than Vista the OS for MORONS, comes out
Article:
Microsoft has finally given in to public demand. The company has decided to
offer technical support for Windows XP with updates and security patches for
an extended period until April 2014. However, it will not go back on its
decision to discontinue Windows XP sales after June 30.
This means that after June 30, Microsoft will stop distributing Windows XP
as a stand-alone product, as well as stop licensing it to PC manufacturers
like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and others. However, it doesn't mean that XP will
disappear overnight. Consumers may still find copies of the software or
computers pre-loaded with it for months, as stores and PC makers typically
work through their inventories.
Also, as per an announcement made at Computex earlier this month, the
software giant said that 'nettops' better defined as PCs with limited
hardware or ultra-low cost PCs will be available with Windows XP until
January 2009.
Additionally, under another program, Microsoft is allowing customers to
downgrade Vista systems to XP through a loophole in the company's licensing
terms. So those purchasing a copy of Vista will also be able to run XP at no
additional cost.
Microsoft's move to extend the deadline for technical support is primarily
influenced by large business customers, who haven't yet upgraded their
systems to Windows Vista. The companies have been reluctant to switch to
Vista due to the costs and heavy system requirements involved. So, large
business customers might just skip Vista and continue with XP until the
release of Windows 7, which is scheduled for release in 2010.
