Windows XP to Stay On Sale for Five Extra Months 
Poor Microsoft Windows Vista. So many people think it sucks that Microsoft has extended the life of the ancient but stalwart Windows XP, originally scheduled to stop shipping in January, 2008. Now the company will extend XP's sales life until the end of June, 2008, and will keep those boxes of software flowing to "emerging markets" through June, 2010. Of course, Microsoft spokesflacks didn't mention anything about Vista's suckage, instead insisting that "there are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch." Yeah.

We've dipped a toe or two into Vista here and there, and except for its pretty Aero interface it didn't really offer much of an advantage over Windows XP. So we stay nestled in the sturdy, comfortable embrace of XP, the OS on which this post you're reading was written, and which for us has been rock solid since its debut in 2001.

It's a Microsoft world kid, I am just living in it.

Most of XP users are not upgrading their systems to Vista, so its a wise decision of MS.
