The OS that Won’t Die… Windows XP
This post was published 1 year 6 months 29 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.So after getting a stay on its execution, seems that Windows XP is getting yet another chance.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the company could re-evaluate its plans to phase out Windows XP by June 30, if customers demand that it stick around. So far, they have not.
“XP will hit an end-of-life. We have announced one. If customer feedback varies, we can always wake up smarter, but right now, we have a plan for end-of-life for new XP shipments,” Ballmer said during a Thursday news conference, according to Reuters.
It’s kinda funny seeing how the tides have changed for Microsoft. I personally remember the LINES for Windows 95, 98 and XP. Huge launch parties, and users just hungry to install. With Vista, Microsft has lost the magic. Who knows is Windows “7″ will finally replace Windows XP, but it seems that XP will be sold past it’s scheduled EOL cycle.
I absolutely love Windows vista and can’t wait for Windows 7 to arrive.
@adam…wow, smoke a little crack did ya. Think Steve was a bit nervous that day…
oh god not again… lol If you’re blue, and you don’t know where to go to, why don’t you go where fashion sits??
Vista is getting what it deserves – nothing.
I’ve seen the clip of the Windows 7 kernel and it’s going the way Vista SHOULD have gone – small and tight, not bloated with RIAA & MPAA restrictions.
