Windows XP will be Gone in June 2008 ? - NOT !

MS Says - Windows XP Sales will Stop on 30 June 2008.

Note - Some Existing 'new' Old-Stock of Windows XP presently
in Retailers Inventory may be available until 2009 or longer.

MS Says - Technical Support [Service Pack Downloads] for
Window XP will be provided by Microsoft Corp until 2014.

OK - What is the Problem ?

Yeah -if- You buy a New Computer you will likely get stuck
with have Micorsoft's VISTA pre-installed -but- your Old PC
that is running Windows XP will have support for Five (5)
more years.

Hopefully within those Five (5) Years Microsoft will have
something better than VISTA as their latest super-dupper
OS : Plus you will have a lot of new Hardware to Want-to-Buy.

-ps- Five (5) Years is almost Two (2) Life Cycles in the ever
changing Softwave-and-Hardware Turn-Over-and-Upgrade
PC Users Dilemma.

and . . . that's the way i see it ~ RHF

My two cents,


I don't see the needs for customers to sign any petitions.
It's the product
provider's job to find out if their product is well accepted by
the market
or not. And it's their product so they have every right for
making the
decision. If they think Vista is so good, just terminate XP
and make
Windows 7 even more like Vista. Of course, it's also them who
have to take
the consequences of that decision. Life finds a way, so no
need to beg
anyone for keeping a product or not.

If you can remember back a few weeks, Steve Ballmer went on
record saying
that Microsoft would consider extending the life of Windows XP
if enough
people asked for it. Afterall, many people don't want to
upgrade to
Windows Vista because they are perfectly content with XP. The
problem was
there was no way to ask for it. Sure, you could sign one of
the many
online petitions, but Microsoft considers those "non-official
complaints"
and the rest of us simply consider them silly.


Well, word has been passed down to the tech support teams (and
then on to
Neowin) that they are to begin logging any calls that come in
for the sole
purpose of requesting an extension to the retail life of
Windows XP. The
calls will be logged and, if enough complaints are filed,
Microsoft will
consider giving XP some more time (no pinky promises, though).


If you wish to file an official petition yourself, you can
simply call the
Windows XP Home Edition support numbers for your country and
let the
operator know that you wish to file an official complaint.
Because we're
so nice and want to save you the trouble, here are the numbers
for a
majority of Neowin's visitors:


United States: (866) 234-6020
United Kingdom: 0870 60 10 100
Canada: (800) 936-8479


If your country isn't listed, you can visit the Microsoft
Support Site,
choose your country, choose Windows XP Home Edition as your
product and
then go to 'Contacts' for the appropriate support number.


I disagree with their methodology but will make the call.


Windows XP is fast, RELIABLE, and meets the needs of the vast
majority
of PC users


United States: (866) 234-6020
United Kingdom: 0870 60 10 100

- But the problem is that whatever Microsoft comes up with to replace
Vista will be the same resource Hog Vista is now;
- with no substantial gain.

And you know this because...?

- Imagine how nice it would be to have a REALLY fast, reliable PC
that
ran on Some Future Iteration of hardware


I've got multiple installs of that OS right now...it's called Vista!


- but had Reliable, Familiar Windows XP as its OS


Why? Once you become familiar with Vista, then XP seems old, slow and
clunky...just W2K did after we became familiar with XP.


- tapping into whatever faster Internet / server farm is standard
down teh road.


????????????????????????


Worth Saving Windows XP, in the opinion of over 200,000


Yeah right. You don't think for one second that 200,000 individuals
responded do you?
If so, lets talk about some very fine bridges I happens to know of
that
are for sale...LOL!
Also blogs are now becoming click-and-I-get-cash cows. Any resemblance
to a real e-rag news outlet is delusional at best.

Frank knows all about delusional. It's his life.


Sure you do, Madeline

Most people fine it rather strange that the real malcontents in this
ng are the ones who can't get their installs of vista to run properly.
They blame MS and call those of us who have successfully, installed,
configure and run Vista properly, 'fanboys" as if that somehow
properly vilifies us makes their obvious computer incompetence some
kind of an aberration.
adam albright is the leader of that demented, delusional pact of idiot
moron losers.
And I am daily amazed that this piece of **** can't actually still
type on a keyboard with his fat, bald head shoved all the way up his
fat stupid ass!
Simply amazing!

We all know you are experienced at installing updates. It seems that
updates and service packs are a way of life with Windows.

Watch it now, you might upset him and he will throw a temper tantrum. He's
so tightly wound now that he can't use his computer correctly. He might
heaven forbid go postal on it.

Oh wow, another jackass spreading Frank's stupid lies. Just wondering
which one of you is dumb and the other dumber?

Even dumber is the director of CNBC's popular "Fast Money" show that
features motor mouth anchor Dyland Ratigan and four "experts" giving
stock tips each trying to out talk each other. While I find the banter
often interesting, the director constantly makes fast cuts to show one
of the experts not talking while you still hear the one that is. This
probably was a accident originally, but now it seems to be a "feature"
of the show with whoever the director switches to as soon as they're
aware the camera is on them they ham it up, like smirk or roll their
eyes or do something else silly while the other guy is still heard
talking. I don't get it.

CNBC is a window into Hell. Those people sold their souls for money.

You prove my point:

Windows makes people uptight and paranoid.

Do some homework. Lots of appliances have imbedded processing and most
of it runs Linux. Playstation 3? Echostar DVRs? Most smart phones?

This is stupid. There is no reason to overhaul your PC every 30 months.
Think of the toxic waste. My computer uses 12 Watts.
