MIcrosoft will be extending the life of ite beloved Win XP until at least June 30 2010.Microsoft, which had planned to kill off XP in January 2008 has apparently changed its plans due to the slow uptake of Windows Vista. I remember when i was still working in Hp and when Vista was launched the general perception of the new software was like it was the devil sent by Microsoft to the world filled with angels.

I on the other hand decided to upgrade to Vista Ultimate(original software for sure!) and dont have any problems with it so far. There is also rumour that XP will be available for one year after general availability of the next version of Windows’, codenamed Windows 7.

Im sure businesses who decided to migrate will be furious with this move and if Vista falls over and dies a premature death, it could spell some serious drama for the software giant with open source gaining some good mileage recently.
