Vista replacing Windows XP

Jun. 10th, 2008 at 2:56 PM

Per the Microsoft® Windows Life-Cycle policy, Direct OEM and Retail License Availability for Windows XP will End-Of-Life (EOL) on June 30, 2008. To meet Microsoft’s June 30 last-day-to-ship OEM Windows XP deadline, June 18 is the last time to purchase a Dell laptop, desktop, or workstation with an OEM Windows XP license.

After June 18th you have the option to purchase Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate with a downgrade service to Windows XP Professional.

This option will be available on XPS 630, 720 H2C, and M1730 systems. After June 18th, Windows XP will no longer be offered on currently available Inspiron laptops and desktops.

Foo :P. But I guess I can still get a PC with XP someday on Ebay if I really need to :)

Mood: anxious

Newegg.com. I don't know how that will affect the computers at Newegg, but the one I'm very inpatiently waiting on will have XP Pro on it as it's default, and it was on sale for $339 when I bought it. ^_^ It's only about $419 normally. It's not an OMFGAWSOME computer, but it's better than the one I have and can be upgraded. ^_^ I've heard Dell computers can't be easily upgraded, if they can be at all.
