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.

    How many critical security bugs has Dell fixed lately? How is it that this comment is 5 minutes old and there's no witty response? Geez.. I thought this one was really open to abuse.. :)
