Dell Will Offer XP Past Cutoff Date

Posted by Soulskill on from the dude-you're-getting-a-more-functional-os dept.

Dionysius, God of Wine and Leaf, brings news that Dell will be offering Windows XP pre-installed on their computers past the June 30 cut-off date. Computers purchased with Vista Business or Vista Ultimate past June 30 will come with a copy of XP Pro. Dell plans to simply install that copy upon request to save users a step. Perhaps this will help Microsoft officials make up their minds about another extension.

    Did you hear that? It sounded a lot like a joke going over someone's head.
