Windows XP to be phased out by next year

Posted by multippt

While Windows Vista has already been released (plus all of those nice “Windows Vista” campaigns), not all users of Windows XP are willing to make the switch. For one, it could be because of the many issues (especially in the software compatibility area) Vista have that users come across, and it turned them away.

This slow switch could also be partly influenced by the fact that PC makers are still shipping OEM copies of Windows XP (pre-loaded operating system). Another possible reason could be the price, seeing that a decent version of Windows Vista costs almost more than 1.5 times that of Windows XP (not to mention hardware support to get the most out of Windows Vista).

Microsoft has decided that by 2008, it would stop producing OEM copies of Windows XP (just like retail copies of Windows Vista, which was already done earlier this year), and that computer makers would have to get Windows Vista instead. This move would get more users to switch to Windows Vista, especially those looking for a new computer.
