Microsoft reconfirms XP deadline day
24/06/2008 by swordfish.
Microsoft has sent out a letter to customers reconfirming its commitment to the 30 June XP deadline, as it attempts to wipe away accusations of dithering over the operating system’s fate.
The company’s decision to wield the XP axe has met with fierce resistance ever since the plan was announced, forcing the company to extend the deadline from January and introduce a complicated, staggered approach.
Despite the letter’s insistence that “nothing has changed with regards to its previous time-line”, Microsoft clearly feels that some uncertainty remains over its plans which could still be undone after Steve Ballmer admitted in April that ‘XP could live on should enough customers demand it’.
As it stands, Microsoft will stop selling Windows XP to shops and original equipment manufacturers on 30 June.
