Hi Alexander,
Mainstream support for Windows XP with now continue until
14th April 2009 after which point there will be no changes
to the main code. However, Security updates will be
provided up to 8th April 2014.
However as far as I can establish, this will be for XP
Service Pack 3, so best update if you have not done so
already.
As regards purchasing systems with XP installed, smaller
system builders will have until the end of January next year
during which time they can continue to sell the operating
system.
This information was published in "Computer Active"
Magazine, Issue 270 dated 26 June - 9 July 2008.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] I thought XP machines were stil
available or am I wrong?
Hi all,
Before I get to the point of this message, I wish to make it
clear to the
moderators of the list that my references in later
paragraphs to specific
companies with regard to software, is purely related to my
question.
I currently run Supernova which I purchased from Dolphin
Computer Access Ltd
on a laptop I purchased from a different company some time
earlier. I
have now got to a position where I wish to purchase a
desktop computer,
however, when I contacted Dolphin about obtaining one from
them, I was told
that the computers they sell now come with vista, (hence my
other message
regarding Vista).
My question is, as I said in the subject line, I thought XP
machines were
still available, am I Wrong?
Is the problem that specialist companies have been told, (as
Dolphin told
me), that Microsoft have stopped providing OEM machines with
XP and gone to
vista?
I thought XP Still had life in it yet.
