[News] Windows XP Gets Another Life Extension
We should all hope for as much life extensions as Windows XP.
December 22, 2008
By Andy Patrizio:
By tradition, Microsoft tries to take old operating systems off
the market six months after the release of a new one, but Windows
XP continues to live on, almost two years following the release of
Windows Vista.
For the third time since Vista's release in January 2007,
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has pushed out XP's availability by
granting system builders a "flexible" delivery date beyond the
official phase-out deadline of January 31, 2009.
The end of January remains the cut-off date for PC vendors to
purchase licenses, but they can take delivery of those licenses
through May 30, 2009. So customers may purchase Windows XP
machines right up through June.
That would coincide with the rumored release date of Windows 7,
the successor to Windows Vista. While Microsoft has publicly said
Windows 7 will ship in early 2010, other indicators have pointed
to Windows 7 shipping in early June of 2009.
