The Death of Windows XP
From the article :
The approaching death of Windows XP may upset you, but it shouldn't come as a surprise. Microsoft Corp.'s product life-cycle guidelines have foretold the fate of XP since 2001. In fact, Microsoft has been killing off one version of a product as it is replaced with another for years now. But this time around, the approaching demise of XP is getting more attention than, say, the final passing of Windows 2000.
I'm not surprised..XP has been their most successful offering in a whie. Despite all the initial security hitches and service packs, its proved to be a solid performer. And with people not ready for Vista yet I don't see any way out when they exactly kill it off..will be sad to see it go ! :)
yes, i was sad when Windows 98 had to go! but then Windows XP brought about a sea-change in the way we work!
Now, i hope Vista is going to do the same for us!
