Goodbye XP… Ten Days to Go
By Moshe Zeidman in Reader
Posted in IT strategy, Microsoft on June 20, 2008 at 2:25 pm
As of June 30, large PC makers will no longer be able to sell Windows XP-based PCs, at least on mainstream notebooks and desktops. Retailers will also have only until their current supply is exhausted to sell boxed copies of the operating system. Despite a brief “Save XP” movement (and continued criticism of Windows Vista from many corners), it appears that Microsoft is not going to change the deadline, which is now just 10 days away.
