Windowsxp Is Going Out Market By June 2008- What It Means by fransois2(m): 11:00pm On Apr 22, 2008
Dear All,
Microsoft originally announced over a year ago that Windows XP would be going off the market in January 2008. XP was later given a brief stay of execution, to June 30, 2008. That deadline is fast approaching, which has led to much panicking from people who aren't quite sure what XP's "going off market" means, exactly. Read the full story at

Haven't looked at the link, but obviously - It means the sales of Windows XP by Microsoft will be stopped!

XP will still be available for download via torrents, etc!

Regards

@ poster, from the day PC manufacturers started bundling Vista on new PC, XP has been withdrawn from the market.  It's no news that MS will discontinue support for XP, which is why they released SP3 as the last SP for the OS.  Vista sucks on notebook but surprisingly performs well on desktop.  I'm talking after disabling unnecessary services that are running by default.  My notebook came with Vista but I decided to downgrade to XP and until support is completely discontinued for XP, I'm sticking with it for now.  Peace!
