The Windows XP problem

Microsoft is ceasing sales of Windows XP Pre Shrink Wrapped and OEM releases, after June 30, 2008, those of you who build your own machines, you have until Dec 31.

Meaning? Computers Sold After that date will come installed with Windows Vista. Microsoft's way of selling more copies of Vista.

Like or not, for those like me who rather sell a kidney than install Vista over XP. (Well I don't think there are any but, but I won't use Vista unless you pay me too.) For those who wish to downgrade,
Quote:
vendors such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Fujitsu, and more recently NEC, all offer the opportunity to downgrade to XP Pro."
