Source : DailytechIf Windows XP was the last successful version of Microsoft OS, it becomes now a real problem for the company as so many users and OEM refuse to drop it for Vista or any forthcoming replacement. Windows XP does not want to die.
Following the recent request from customers and OEM as well as computer companies, Windows XP lifetime has been extended by Microsoft till January 31 2009, however resellers will have the opportunity to stock licenses and have the right to sell them till May 30th 2009. We would not be surprised if Microsoft further extends the deadline for resellers when the current fixed date will be reached. At the end, Windows XP might survive to Vista, demonstrating the major failure for this version of Windows.
