Microsoft again extends Windows XP drop-dead date
December 22, 2008 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. has once again extended an impending deadline for Windows XP's demise, the company confirmed today.
System builders -- the smaller shops and computer dealers that build PCs to order -- will now be able to obtain Windows XP Professional licenses through at least May 30 and likely long after, according to a Microsoft spokeswoman. Previously, Microsoft had set Jan. 31 as its deadline for selling new XP licensees to the distributors that supply system builders.

I think M$ is in real trouble. It is having a hard time convincing people that they need to upgrade. I think it is only going to get worse and they know it. M$ may have to shut down XP worldwide to force people to upgrade and if they do, they will have permanently alienated a massive percentage of its clientele. If that doesn't drive people to alternatives, nothing will...
