Are Windows XP users doomed?

By Bill Husted | Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 09:51 AM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Windows Vista - the replacement for Windows XP - isn’t even available yet and there are already doubts about how well Microsoft will support Windows XP users.

There was news Tuesday that Microsoft will delay a planned update to XP until 2008 … that’s no typo folks. They aren’t talking about delaying things until 2007. That sort of delay makes a lot of people wonder if the update will be delivered at all.

You wouldn’t need to be to be very cynical if you wondered if it was all part of a plan to make it difficult to continue using XP and forcing users to move immediately to Vista. Of course, it’s hard to think evil of the gentle giant Microsoft.
