Microsoft retired XP from sales almost 2 years ago (June 2008) and now they’re bringing it back? Take note that technical support for the Windows XP will cease this April 14, however, extended support will continue till 2014. What this means is that security patches and critical fixes will still be available but no more feature upgrades.
Hmm, maybe the rise of the netbook market that cannot adequately run Vista forced the hand of Microsoft. I wonder if other manufacturers such as Dell and Acer will follow suit.

naku, it's a good thing they extended the support, etc. i just bought a new netbook. :-) well, that was not really that recent, but still, it would be so difficult for me to adjust to openoffice if i don't have an XP.
hi, i've sent an email to you regarding the links. please reply.
Man I am so happy they decided to bring it back. That's the best news I have heard in a while! Vista sucks and plus I am an expert in XP so my clients will start growing again :)
