When Microsoft first released Windows Vista, there was talk of fading out XP. As word got out about the problems with Vista, some people decided to stay with XP for a little while longer. Microsoft heard such and uproar about fading out XP that they decided to push back the end-of-sales date. Well, that day has finally come.

On June 30th, 2008, Microsoft will stop selling Windows XP. This means that you will no longer be able to buy XP as a stand-alone product at a store or from major PC manufacturers like Dell and HP.
Of course it will take months for places like Dell and HP to sell all the copies of XP in their inventory.
If you refuse…


Less than 24 hours stand between now and the highly anticipated Keynote presentation from Apple CEO Steve Jobs at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, California.
According to Microsoft, Service Pack 3 (SP3) will the be last service pack for Windows XP. This is part of the transition to Vista. In fact, a few of the new features in SP3 are also in Vista. While I hate to see the slow progression from XP to Vista, it is about time MS released another SP. It has been about 3 years since SP2 was released.
