Windows XP is renewed

Microsoft has just decided to extend the Windows XP operating system until May 30, 2009.

This move, coupled with the launch of Windows 7 by the end of next year, shows the attractiveness of XP to consumers and Vista's lack of appeal.

Windows XP is renewed Picture 1 Previously, Microsoft fixed the last date that computer manufacturers licensed to use the software was January 31, 2009. Now, however, the giant software company plans to allow manufacturers of hardware devices to register to use Windows XP until May 30, 2009.

Previously, Microsoft intended to extend the life of Windows XP until 2010 distribution through pre-installed on cheap laptops and netbooks (small, compact laptops, in the range of 1kg or less, .).

Initially, Windows XP was intended to be released on prices on January 30, 2008 to "clear the way" for Windows Vista, which was launched in early 2007.

Although Microsoft has always claimed that the Vista operating system is selling well, consumers have reacted very harshly to the software.

Micosoft was forced to delay the 'death' of XP because the popularity of consumers for this operating system was too large.

Many computer manufacturers have exploited the right to downgrade the contract with Microsoft to help consumers move from Vista operating system to XP.

The decision to maintain the XP operating system affected some computer manufacturers and software agents who were rushing to stock up before the operating system's death on January 31, 2009. Many companies had to buy software license licenses before the deadline to sell later. Now, Microsoft has decided to change the deadline for ordering agents before January 31, 2009 but can distribute it any time before May 30, 2009.

This change in Microsoft's policy once again shows a hindrance to the Windows Vista operating system.

The first versions of Windows 7, the alternative operating system for Windows Vista, are expected to hit the market by the end of 2009.
