Is XP Pro still scheduled to meet its fate today?

[Guest Howard Kaikow]

Hmmm, if we can get paramedics, or better yet, Gregg House out to Redmond

today, I wonder if that could prevent the assisted suicide of Win XP Pro

expected today?

I, for one, will be glad to see July 1 arrive.

So would any other retailer that has stock to move off the shelves.

Saw an interesting story on Fox News about a consumer group in the

process of putting together a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for

taking XP off the market.

 

The focus of the lawsuit is the instability of the Vista operating

system and severe compatiblity issues with mainstream business software.

 

The story also talked about rumblings from some in congress about

another investigation into Microsoft with regards to Vista issues and

Microsoft's (possibly illegal) pushing of manufacturers to discontinue

support.

 

Whether it's true or not, there is a HUGE perception of the general

public about how horrible and unstable Vista is.

 

Sadly Balmer's bullying used to be the stick to Gates' carrot, but with

Gates completely gone now... Microsoft is in for a very rocky next few

years.

For publicity, I assume. An actual suit might conceivably

make it into court about the time Vista's replacement is

beginning to look dated.
