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. |

I have been saying that this would happen right when vista was still in
BETA. When you found out, it was already VERY old news to be. You are not that bright are you? Ahhh you are an MVP! They don't come out in Bright versions...

Sorry to disappoint you again, but the lifecycle tables have long stated
that XP is in extended support from April 2009 to April 2014. If you spent half the time reading the sources (Microsoft) as you do outside websites you would have known this tidbit for the last few years already just like the rest of us.

Windows XP Support Extended until 2014
We've known this for ages! Do you think you are telling us anything
new? Do you really think that Techtree India hashing out information given by Microsoft in a January 2007 press release and passing it like so: "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..." and pretending that this is developing news on June 25, 2008 makes them look smart and on the ball in the fast paced world of information technology? It's a darn good thing that they don't report and write about the automobile industry because their headline today would probably read that after disappointing sales figures Ford finally pulled the plug on the Edsel!
