No sorry you are wrong here. xp was releced in 2001 and was replaced in 2006 for OEm and retail in 2007. Generally the life of windows is 3 two four years.
Windows 3.1 1992 Windows 95 1995 Windows 98 1998 1999 Windows me 2000 Windows xp 2001 Windows vista 2006/2007 Windows 7 2009 or 2010 Information on unattended installs can be found here. http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/ From: Michael McGhee [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 6:29 AM To: 'Jim Grimsby Jr.' Subject: RE: Upgrading to Vista Jim Thanks for your reply. How do I set up an unattended install? Is it not unusual for Microsoft to replace a brand new OS just 2-3 years after it has been released. XP has been around since 2000 and was only replaced by vista in 2006. Thanks for the help.

You make that sound so easy! Yep sure is. Is there any way of installing vista without sighted assistance. Yep set up an unattended install. Also, is it worth installing this OS as I've heard that it is going the same way of the ME version released by Microsoft a few years ago, i.e. down the toilet. Well this is subjective of course. I personally love vista. Others hate it. it is just user preference. Vista is not going down the toilet etc. what happens with software and software not just Microsoft software is that new versions come out and they replace old versions. That is all that is happening here. the new windows 7 will replace vista at the end of this year or at the start of the next. Is it best to wait for whatever is coming next, stay with XP, just install Vista, or do a dual boot which gives the option of both vista and XP? Once again this is subjective. I went to vista and won't look back others will tell you to wait others will tell you to try a drool boot. Considering the fact you asked me I would go for vista.
