XP given the Ax

Well Micosoft is giving their best selling operating system ever the Ax. As of June 30th large PC makers will no longer be able to sell Windows XP machines. Retailers will also have only until their current supply is exhausted to sell boxed copies of the operating system. But there are still ways to get ahold of a machine with XP, and if you buy a Vista Ultimate or Vista Business system the computer comes with downgrade rights. Cause lets face it for most business and government systems Vista still sucks. For us Mac users we got no worries, in fact we’re already getting giddy over the release of Snow Leopard next year. Which by the looks of things so far is going to be more of a code tightening release then a feature release like Leopard was.
