Ridiculous, Windows XP will be supported till 2014, nothing in the Linux world comes even remotely close.

Do you really think it’s hard to blow your BS out of the water?

Can you buy a dell desktop with XP on it? can you walk into compusa and buy XP. I tried to be very clear with you so that at the very least we could agree that you and I cant see eye to eye on what ‘supported means’.

“Its not, providing *only* security patches while other produces like IE dont get updated is not full support. Bug Fixes, component updates `, and security fixes make for support.” - N3WBI3

And I was pretty clear about why I think the fact MS has shut down Dell or other PC vendors from selling with XP installed was important.

“If I had a shop with 100 desktops and I had to buy five more (from dell for example) I now can not have a homogeneous desktop environment *unless* I buy XP from a third party (like cdw). Companies dont replace their entire desktop environment in one shot they evergreen out over the course of quarters if not years.” - N3WBI3

Will the next ie be release for XP? what about media player? These are serious issues that can, in effect, force an upgrade.
