http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=455 *Microsoft extends Windows XP to 2010 * Microsoft had earlier announced the end of availability of Windows XP in retail and OEM channels by end of January 2008. However, they recently amended that and have extended the availability of Windows XP until June 30, 2008 for OEM PCs and June 30, 2010 for emerging markets. Before we look at the announcement, let's reiterate that Microsoft will continue to support Windows XP with updates until August 4, 2014 under their Extended Support Policy. Here's a quote from the report: "Microsoft continues to be excited about the progress of Windows Vista® and its promise to be the most widely used operating system ever. At the same time, we recognize that some of our customers need additional time to make the transition to Windows Vista, our most secure and most reliable operating system. This is especially true for our small business and emerging market customers." ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
