Microsoft has officially confirmed that you will no longer be able to purchase a copy of Windows XP after June 30th, due to Windows Life-Cycle Policy, and the only exceptions are shipping in Ultra Low-Cost PCs, like the Asus Eee, or shipping preloaded on new machines. The ULPCs exception ends on June 30, 2010, or one year after the next version of Windows is available, whichever comes first. As for pre-installed machines, their time is up on January 31, 2009.
Many people around the world wanted to save XP, and it looks like Microsoft has decided to go with its original plan, despite more than 100,000 people asking Microsoft to not stop OEM and shrink-wrapped sales of XP.
If you like Xp go get your copy before june 30th after that it would be a “Vista only Microsoft”.
