XP Stay of Execution until 2010

XP Stay of Execution until 2010According to a report on CNET News Microsoft has been persuaded to allow manufacturers to continue selling PCs loaded with Windows XP after the January 31st 2008 deadline. In a further announcement Microsoft has also promised to keep some versions of XP in production until June 2010. The move appears to be a response to a strong ongoing demand for XP, almost 10 months after the launch of Vista. There are also reports of some manufacturers supplying software that allows their customers to ‘downgrade’ their Vista PCs to XP.
