Windows XP Granted An Extension
Windows XP has gotten a reprieve from Microsoft:
Large PC manufacturers were slated to have to stop selling XP after January 31. However, they have successfully lobbied Microsoft to allow them to continue selling PCs with all flavors of Windows XP preloaded until June 30, a further five months. Microsoft also plans to keep XP on retail shelves longer and will allow computer makers in emerging markets to build machines with Windows XP Starter Edition until June 2010.
My new-ish Compaq laptop qualified for a free upgrade to Vista Home Premium, but given what I’ve heard, I decided not to bother.
