I say XP will outlive Vista! :-)

XP will not be terminated as it seems so soon, another one of my predictions
that seems to be coming true...

I have been right on so many things.. yet the vista fanboys close their ears
and eyes.. what can I say?

Microsoft may have pushed a too-aggressive XP transition schedule because of
how long it took to release Vista, an analyst suggests.

Microsoft should keep Windows XP available until at least 2009, not end the
majority of sales on June 30 as currently planned, said analysts at Gartner
and The Burton Group.

"A good rule of thumb in any OS transition is that you have to have the
original and new products available for at least two years to handle
customer [migration] needs," said Richard Jones, a Burton Group vice
president and service director.

But Microsoft gave customers just 11 months in its original plan, in which
new XP licenses would have ended on Dec. 31, and even the additional six
months that Microsoft granted when it changed the date to June 30 is not
enough, he said.

"It would be wise for XP to be available until the end of 2008," concurred
Michael Silver, a research vice president at Gartner. Even though Microsoft
does a good job of addressing application compatibility, those efforts miss
homegrown applications and applications from minor and defunct software
companies. That's why a two-year transition period is more sensible, Silver
said.

Why So Fast?
Jones said Microsoft may have pushed a too-aggressive transition schedule
because of how long it took to release Vista, a delay that deprived it of
new earnings. "Microsoft is up against a rock, with Vista coming out seven
years after XP's release. But it's their fault it took seven years, not my
fault," he said, adding that users should not be forced to rush their
transition because of Microsoft's internal delays.

Watch out for the link that 'cheen' supplied. At least the story is
legitimate.

There Are No Updates Yet For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 RTM, Because
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 RTM Contains All Of The Same Updates That
Windows Vista Service Pack One RTM Contains (It Is Based On The Windows
Vista Service Pack One RTM Line Of Code Base), Just FYI.
