Deadline looms for demise of Windows XP
17/06/2008 by swordfish.
After a long-announced transition, 30 June marks the end of an era at Microsoft, in more ways than one.
As well as Bill Gates’s impending shift to part-time work, another epoch is coming to an end — that of Windows XP.
As of 30 June, large PC makers will no longer be able to sell Windows XP-based PCs, at least on mainstream notebooks and desktops. Retailers will also have only until their current supply is exhausted to sell boxed copies of the operating system.
Despite a brief ‘Save XP‘ movement (and continued criticism of Windows Vista from many corners), it appears Microsoft is not going to change the deadline, which is now just two weeks away.
