New Lease on XP Life
It might not be a reversal of XP's death sentence, but if reports are to be
believed, XP did at least get a
six-month
reprieve and won't be yanked from OEM hands until July 2009.
Some say this is a bunch of hooey, but whether or not Microsoft has formally
made the decision, I have to believe the company will offer XP as long as humanly
possible. After all, people want it, Microsoft gets paid for it and the monopoly
remains intact. Where's the downside? There isn't one.
Tell me where I'm wrong (yeah, I stole that line from Bill-O) at [email protected].
