Re: Windows XP Support Extended until 2014
If you knew that then why did you bother posting your antiquated news
here? You didn't really know, that is why, you thought that your were
on to an explosive and new developing story. The facts are that there
is an established and predictable life support cycle policy and that
anyone who ever bothered to look it up would have knows even 10 years
ago that business operating systems like XP Pro have a *minimum* support
policy of 10 years. We knew that before anyone even knew of Vista, we
knew that before XP was even released. Of course it's plainly obvious
that you didn't know it. You should probably change your moniker to
"Foggy Windows", it would suit you better!
