| Guest | Dell, Lenovo to offer Windows XP beyond June 30 cutoff "Microsoft may have decided to give XP Home (only for ultra-low-cost PC use) to OEMs at least through June 2010, but OEMs and customers have been warily eying Window XP's June 30, 2008, expiration date. When Ballmer said "we can always wake up smarter" in regards to extending the life of XP again, he may not have been expecting OEMs to take matters into their own hands, as Dell and Lenovo are now doing by using Microsoft's "Downgrade Rights" to keep selling PCs with Windows XP beyond June." - http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...30-cutoff.html IOWs, tough sh*t Microsoft! -- Peace!
