XP Deathwatch, T Minus 2 Weeks

CWmike writes "June 30 is Microsoft's deadline for mainstream computer makers to stop selling new PCs with the old operating system, and the date that it will stop shipping boxed copies to retailers. That's just two weeks away. Computerworld offers a FAQ about XP's approaching retirement after Microsoft's most recent relaxation of the retirement rules, with some details about which machines big-brand computer makers will be selling with XP after June 30. First FAQ: Any sign that Microsoft will reprieve Windows XP's retirement? Sort of."

This is interesting. Could you point me in the right direction as to how to enable to standard Xandros desktop? My grandad has a 6 months old EEE that works well but I have not figured out on how to run updates - there are a couple of glitches. Any help is appreciated, I am familiar with Linux but have not gone beyond the user interface of the EEEPC.

Excuse me, did you say something? No, I guess not.
