At last Microsoft has given in to public pressure to extend supporting Windows XP. Microsoft will continue supporting Windows XP until 2014 by providing security patches and updates. But it seems that Microsoft will still be discontinuing the sale of Windows XP after June 2008.

It’s actually good news for me since I use Windows XP but I don’t want to migrate to Windows Vista simply because it is too much of a resource hog. With news of Nokia open sourcing the Symbian OS, maybe we can all have a PC Suite version running flawlessly on Linux after all it’s the only obstacle that I have since most of the PC games I play is now well supported by the recently released Wine 1.0.
