News No extension: Windows XP D-Day arrives Monday, June 30

[MeRcChRiS]

After delays, delays, and rumors of more delays, the era of Windows XP has finally reached its final hours. Microsoft has made it official: Monday, June 30 will be the last day Microsoft sells XP to the masses. In fact, some companies have already stopped offering XP as an option on new machines as they prep for the switchover.

Earlier rumors that Microsoft might extend the sales date have proven untrue, as Microsoft has reiterated that, indeed, June 30 will be the final sales date cut-off for the product. That's it. It's a Vista world now.

Nooooooo! This can't be happening...

That's it. It's a Vista world now.

 

[IceWarrior98]

They are cancelling a system they admit to be better than Vista...so they can sell more Vista? FUCK THAT!

Drivers will still be made cuz XP will still be widely used.

 

[Prometheus]

Ah, phew!

 

[MeRcChRiS]

So, XP is no longer going to live to see the 2009 New Year's Celebration, eh?

Darn, *holding a Bible book in XP's hands*, I pray that Lord give XP strength, and that XP can see what will his son (Vista) will do here on Earth. I pray that Lord give XP a rest in peace. Amen. *Taking away the Bible Book, while XP thankfully bids me goodbye*

 

[Prometheus]

Okay tom, just how high were you?
I should go create an image of my Win XP disc....

 

[tom_mai78101]

Uh...A plain high?

Anyway, good luck with your image disc. :thup:

 

[Larcenist]

The XP manual IS the bible so...

 

[Seb!]

But they all lose to OS X.. Yay!

Mac sucks. Plain and simple, you just need to come to terms with your XP love.

 

[duyen]

^

I disagree.

Macs are good if you know nothing about computers and don't care what your computer parts are or how good your graphic card is.

Windows XP is for people that know what they're doing.

 

[esb]

So you're pretty much saying that something rocks as long as people don't know it sucks?

 

[Prometheus]

I think he said Macs are for n00bs.
