Windows XP Support Extended until 2014

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.

XP is better. Maybe Vista is just like Windows ME and Windows 7 is like
Windows 2000 the "successor".

It looks like you and the folks at Techtree India aren't all that smart
either, spreading 18 month old press releases and thinking that it's
current news!

Believe it or not, Windows Me is newer than Windows 2000.

Techtree India not being smart enough to point out in its scribblings
that the information is from a January 2007 press release? Techtree is
asleep! What will their next headline be? Intel releases EMT64 to
counter competition from the AMD64 chip? That XP support information is
old news that has often been requested and posted in these groups.

Aw, c'mon. You spoiled a good, factual post by adding a personal attack.
You can be a better person than that!

If you would read Frank's posts, you would know that he posted a fact,
not a personal attack.
