Last Call for XP
Microsoft to stop selling XP on Monday.

Story here

With some exceptions.

Quote:
Once computers loaded with XP have been cleared from the inventory of PC makers such as Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., consumers who can't live without the old operating system on their new machine will have to buy Vista Ultimate or Vista Business and then legally "downgrade" to XP.

Microsoft will still allow smaller mom-and-pop PC builder shops to buy XP for resale through the end of January. A version of XP will also remain available for ultra-low-cost PCs such as the Asus Eee PC.

I kept hearing that they were going to delay this at least until v7, due to the fact that XP runs wonderfully well on the small laptops that are becoming more popular (while Vista most decidedly does not). Guess the tech pundits were wrong.

How long before they turn off the validation servers and you can no longer re-install XP?

Anyone know what the oldest version of Windows is that MS currently does offer tech support for?

I could go look, but then I am lazy right now.

I'm fairly sure it's XP.
