Windows XP just won't go away


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Windows XP, which debuted nine years ago in 2001, will continue to be with us for yet another decade.

Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) announced late Monday that it would allow some Windows 7 customers to buy Windows XP "downgrade" licenses until January 2020. Those licenses allow customers to swap out the newer operating system and instead install a legal copy of the older one.

Microsoft initially planned to let Windows 7 customers downgrade to Windows XP only through April 2010, but that end-date was quickly extended until October 2011. Now, the company says it will extend the downgrade option through the entire Windows 7 sales cycle, which is scheduled to last until January 2020.

A full 74% of Microsoft's business customers are still using the outdated Windows XP, Windows marketing head Tami Reller said this week at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington, D.C.

Sounds like vista, windows 7 just isn't a work computer. If they would offer xp in new computers again, I wonder if they would outsell w7? Now I'm afraid to buy w7 in next new computer.

If I bought a PC preloaded with W7, I would wipe it clean and install XP in a heartbeat...

I like Windows XP and Windows 7 !
Now im using the windows 7 few month already and it really is faster than the windows vista .
So, if you re like to upgrade a XP to W7 . Just go ahead and try it. ( But some software or driver is hard to get ) .

Windows vista always not in my list ~
