- Did anyone think MS would drop support for XP
-
Ed,
As ever you seem keen to paint a rosy picture of Microsoft's efforts. You know full well that Microsoft will have corporate and government contract obligations to support XP for a fixed number of years after the product stops shipping. There was never any doubt that XP support would be dumped as you imply some people thought. This was a myth you invented and then tore down yourself -though I have no doubt you will be able to point to some blog or story that suggested otherwise.
You will also know that today's announcement of an ongoing support is also open to change. Unless Microsoft is taking on paid supports contracts for this period there is nothing to stop them in 5 years saying we've changed our mind. - Posted by: martin23 Posted on: 01/24/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
