Microsoft, after 2 years of warning that XP will go the way of the dinosaur has decided to go against the grain and keep selling its older product. The market tells the manufacturer what to sell not the other way around. | ||

| Windows XP End Of Life is 4/8/2014. If people want to pay for it, why not? |

Indeed; 4 years of support for XP is way better that what is available for EBS. :-)
Personally I am very satisfied with W7 but..... |

The article linked to is complete bull. For a start, Melissa Mitchell (the article writer) links to an article supposedly on Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/microsoft_xp_dc;_ylt=Av.6fIpGZ.Sv1.dR8St0304jtBAF), except the article doesn't exist. A Google search of the headline quoted by her (Microsoft says to extend XP sales for five months) gives links to a few articles... dated 2007, when Microsoft THEN said they were going to move the XP-discontinue-sales date by 5 months. So no, Microsoft hasn't changed their stance from yesterday. So either she's claiming that Microsoft have now suddenly announced that XP will be sold for a bit longer, or she's approximately 2 1/2 years too late in catching up with the news.
*rolleyes* |

| Thanks testman for pointing that out. I am becoming numb to bad reporting/blogging... |
