Microsoft will announce later today that it will give OEMs six additional
months to sell PCs with Windows XP installed, CRN has learned.

Microsoft is extending the deadline for sales of new direct OEM PCs with
Windows XP installed from January 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008, according to
sources close to the company.

"The named accounts, the ones that have volume, have complained about the
end of life for XP, and that's because adoption of Windows Vista has been
slow," said one Microsoft partner who requested anonymity. "This is a pretty
important development for larger partners, and it's also somewhat surprising
because it shows that they've been listening to us."

The move comes as little surprise to VARs and system builders who have been
ripping Windows Vista off the desktops and notebooks they sell and replacing
it with Windows XP ever since the next generation operating system debuted
in January.

"We don't really do anything with Vista right now, the requests are few and
far between," said Douglas Lee, CFO and director of business development at
BostonTech Partners, a Canton, Mass., solution provider.

you are incorrect for the billionth time.

In the MS newgroups cross posting is accepted and infact is advised when the
subject interests more than one newsgroup. What is not accepted is posting
the same message on several groups without crossposting...

Also what is not accepted is all your behaviour that is darn right stupid.
now off you go... you have to swing in some trees... its your nature,
remember?

<You can talk your game with someone else, because I am not buying the
BS. If you have an issue with it, then let me get you a tissue. You are
acting in a troll like manner, because you are a troll. I have seen many
trolls. You may not think you are a troll but that's what you are.>

Hey moron, look at the name you picked to post under. What were you
saying about trolling?

So many stupid monkeys post here, like you.

I for one found it informative and useful.

We've rolled out Vista on a couple of new pcs and have come to regret it.
Its quite informative to see that many others are of the same opinion and
that we are not alone in sticking with XP (for now).

<What do you mean quite informative? You're already using the product.
It would have been useful for you if you had not gone to the O/S based
on some information. You're too late. I have been on XP at home and at
work for many years. I have been using Vista for the last few months,
and I don't have a problem with XP or Vista. The poster who made the
post was/is trolling, but it can't face the facts as to what it does.>
