Buy Windows XP

Microsoft has declared that June 30th will be the last day that it will sell Windows XP licenses. Of course, this is causing a lot of commotion on and off the net. InfoWorld has started a petition to convince Microsoft to continue selling Windows XP licenses indefinitely.

InfoWorld has already gotten 70,000 signatures from passionate Windows XP fans of all stripes. I have to say, Microsoft is not doing a very intelligent thing by moving against what many customers are saying they want. True Microsoft will lose money on Vista, but if their forced migration of everyone from XP to Vista causes people to jump ship onto Linux or MacOSX then they will have more pain.
