How long til XP stops selling?

[Techdec42]

yeah was wondering about how long till MS stops selling XP. I know i heard they were making builders like Dell and such install Vista only. But when do they halt XP sells on sites like Newegg?

There will be a secondary market for XP long after M$ pulls the plug. You can still buy Windows 95 if you look around.

Yep, you sure can. There just probably won't be any support for XP when they pull the plug. but actually, considering the popularity and longevity XP had, Windows will support XP until 2020 if they needed too.

Microsoft responds to Save XP petition

In response to Infoworld's petition and other pro-XP outpourings of support, a Microsoft spokesperson in the US told Computerworld: "We're aware of it, but are listening first and foremost to feedback we hear from partners and customers about what makes sense based on their needs. That's what informed our decision to extend the availability of XP initially, and what will continue to guide us."
