Windows xp has served the world no-stoply for eight year but now just after 2 days after Bill Gates(who changed the way of computers & computing) walk out, Miscrosoft have decided to stop selling windows xp from June 30, 2008
Even we all love Windows XP. And requested not to stop xp, through in the form of our website, in e-mails, and through independent online petition drives. But it took over a year for microsoft to stop xp! They have decided to proceed with the phase out of Windows XP in June. It’ll be a long goodbye. But they plan to provide support(Windows XP Updates - All in one!) for Windows XP until 2014.
Although Windows XP won’t be sold in stores, Microsoft and its partners will continue to offer technical support for Windows XP for months and years to come. In fact, Microsoft plans to support Windows XP until 2014.

And amazing microsoft sold more than 140 million copies of Windows Vista(Make Vista more like XP), making it the fastest selling operating system in Microsoft history. 71% of Windows Vista customers liked it better than their last operating system(windows xp).

Me too waiting for windows 7….I love UNIX and XP.
I had installed Vista, but removed it, due to some problems that the early releases of Vista had.
Anyway, this could be the way Microsoft can sell Vista, orelse every buddy would have stickon to Xp and Vista would be a big flop!Anyway, we must welcome the inevitable changes.

My laptop came with vista, but since I encountered tons of problems I had no choice other than downgrading to XP, which I really like.
It will be hard to say goodbye to XP, but I guess we must move on.

This statement “Almost 62% of small business said Windows Vista saves them time, and 70% said that it makes them more productive, according to an independent survey” contradicts what I read about vista on yahoo news. Yahoo news said that most people are waiting for windows 7 and some business are resisting upgrading to vista. I made a blogpost at http://learningabouttech.com/news/support-for-windows-xp-is-extended-to-13-years
