Microsoft to support Windows XP through 2014

If you are one of the multitudes of people who just don’t want to upgrade to Vista, take heart.

Even though Microsoft announced an end to Windows XP last week, the company has pledged to support XP though 2014.

Maybe by then Microsoft will have a non-buggy version of Windows 7 up and running and we can bypass Vista altogether. That comment generated a lot of applause - my speakers are still humming.

At the link below, InformationWeek says: Microsoft may have little choice but to support Windows XP for an extended period, given that the majority of its large business customers have not upgraded their personal computers and laptops to the newer, Windows Vista operating system.

Many companies have balked at Vista's cost, resource requirements, and lack of compatibility with older applications.
