A great news from Microsoft. Ealier this year Microsoft decided to put the last nail in the coffin for Windows XP. The date was 30. june 2008. The new expire date is now 30. May 2009. Almost one year extension.
The main reason for this is that Windows Vista require up-to-date hardware to run smoothly on todays new “mini-computers”. Like the Asus EEE, Acer OneNote or MSI Wind. Microsoft will make a load of license-money on these small computers.
When we hit 30. may 2009, I’ll think a new Beta of Windows 7 will be floating the net. I testet a pre-beta of Windows 7 and the new operating system was running smoothly with only 768MB RAM. I think Windows 7 will be a “lightweight” of Windows Vista, but with extended functionalitys and improved GUI. 2009/2010 will be a good year for Micorsoft.
It’s good to see Microsoft tune and tweek their OS for low-spec computers!
