Everybody knows Windows Xp, one of the most successful operating systems released by Microsoft. Unfortunately, according to Microsoft it'll begin to retire in April this year. On the 14 of this month it will leave, what is called "mainstream support" and enter "extended support" which you can understand as time before the day in which it will stop being supported by the Microsoft i.e. DEATH.
As I said it is one of the most successful OS aged at about 7 years. Recently it hit the market of so called Netbooks and now have about 80% of this market. Each of them is sold with pre-installed Win XP. What does that news mean for the owners of them (including me!). Not too much. The important security updates will be released but any updates in functionality might not be repaired at all.
I can bet most of you does not like the new product Windows Vista, me neither. We have to wait for the Windows 7 to e released. Fortunately it won't be long. Soon this OS will be available as PR1 (pre-release) version. They are voices saying that this is twin of Ms Vista. Haven't play with it too much so i cannot say. However, I hope it'll have something different, otherwise it will be time for a OS switch... maybe MacOS??
