The popular Microsoft Windows XP could be stopped from retailing in US on June 30 this year and totally retailed from the market on January 31, 2009. But Microsoft would have some new plans for XP in other territories.
Windows XP could be available for another two years. For example Windows XP Starter Edition, a scaled-down version of the OS for emerging markets, will be available until June 30, 2010. Microsoft's Windows Vista was not totally compatible with some hardware devices, so the company have offered its user the possibility to downgrade to Windows XP. The option is valid for business and end-users who have purchased Windows Vista Business or Ultimate licenses.
I would be one customer to miss the XP version. It was the most usable version of Windows and the most stable. Here is a petition to save Windows XP. Please express yourself!
