Windows XP to be retired in 2008

[method77]

Windows XP will stop being available on new PCs from the end of January 2008.

Microsoft is keeping to a plan to stop selling the operating system even though surveys show a lukewarm response to Windows Vista among consumers.

It's their standard practice. If people aren't switching fast enough you have to nudge them into that next product.

ME over 98SE anyone? XP over 98SE?

They've done this each time.

I hope I discontinue Windows some time in 2008.

While I don't really mind Windows, some of the performance differences I've seen on dual boot machines for gaming have helped me decide it's time to go Linux.

I thought Windows was already retired :)
