Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hey-that's-less-than-a-nexus-six dept.

HeUnique writes "According the this story at The Register, Microsoft is planning to retire Windows 2000 as far as OEMs concerned. MS has asked OEMs to stop immediately the shipment dual-boot systems running Win2k/WinXP, so your choice now is either to upgrade to XP or else." Only if you're ordering systems running Microsoft Windows, though.

    Shat. A wonderful word falling into disuse. THAT's the true pity.

    I'd find it a relief, actually.

    If my last name happen to have that word in it....like perhaps the name "Shatner" or something similar.
