Guest poatt Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 RE: UNTIL WHEN Will XP Be Available Pre-Installed From PC Makers? I believe it already started. MS is not making/selling any more OEM XP licencing. Read it somewhere in MS news.

Guest David B. Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Re: UNTIL WHEN Will XP Be Available Pre-Installed From PC Makers? What ridiculous, completely incorrect info, of course Microsoft is still providing XP, they are actually releasing an SP2c (in OEM, not sure on the retail end) because they ran out of product keys.
