Microsoft has already made changes in its timetables. Last year, the company extended the sales life cycle -- the time during which PC manufacturers and system builders could sell computers with XP installed -- to June 30, 2008. It will stop selling XP altogether on Jan. 31, 2009. And it extended the mainstream support period for XP to April 14, 2009, in an effort to reassure customers made nervous by the long delays in shipping Vista.

    SP1 installation on the current setup isn't so great. In fact, it wasn't great in XP days either. Best thing is for Microsoft to distribute free Vista + SP1 slipstreamed DVDs to people who have legitimately bought the original copy. The slipstreamed setup is running quite smooth.

    I have seen lots of computers that use win2k which is far from dead........So everyone must give up their copies? Although Sri Lankans don't play the real price........

    Oh well at least updates will be there.......
