images/news/windows.jpgMicrosoft was eager to put Windows XP out to pasture -- thus creating a void for its Vista operating system to fill -- but consumer reaction bordering on hostile made a monkey out of Vista and a hero out of XP. Now, even Microsoft is apparently resigned to put its marbles in the Windows 7 basket, and it needs XP to stick around a while longer until the new OS is ready for prime time.

Microsoft Latest News about Microsoft is giving PC makers essentially, companies that make build-to-suit computers an additional four months to buy the Windows Consolidate Mac Servers. Run Windows Server on your Mac. Watch a Demo or Download a Trial. XP operating system. Redmond had originally designated Jan. 21, 2009, as the cutoff for shipping the OS. Now, these manufacturers can take delivery up to May 30.

Now seven years old, XP is becoming the OS that simply won't die -- or, at least, the OS that Microsoft can't seem to live without. With Vista seemingly a lost cause, the company is apparently now trying to extend XP's lifecycle as far out as possible, so that the gap between it and the next OS will be as small as possible.
