anonymous reader writes "Though the Redmond software giant may be
extending the lifetime of XP on low-end laptops, the end is nigh for
the aging OS. That extension makes perfect sense, as recent studies
have shown XP is far faster than Vista across a number of platforms.
Still, Microsoft is 'sticking to its guns' when it comes to drop-dates
for most other uses of the XP operating system. 'There are several
dates that apply, but the one you're probably thinking of is the June
30 deadline that Dix referred to. That's the last day when large
computer makers -- the Dells, HPs and Lenovos of the world -- will be
allowed to preinstall Windows XP on new PCs. It also marks the official
end of XP as a retail product.'"
