Ballmer: You Want XP, We'll Keep XP
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that, if there is customer demand for it, the company might reconsider its plan to phase out Windows XP by the end of June. So, let’s take an unofficial vote…keep XP or let it die?

"XP will hit an end-of-life. We have announced one. If customer feedback varies, we can always wake up smarter, but right now, we have a plan for end-of-life for new XP shipments," Ballmer said during a Thursday news conference in Belgium, according to Reuters.

I seriously read "Baliame: ..." first time I saw this thread.

Seems like it'd make sense to extend XP until the next version of Fista comes out, seeing as this one is proving to be a bit of a white elephant.

Hur Hur.

What he really meant:

"Bascially, we tried to push Fista, everyone told us it was shit, and all manufacturers ended up shipping systems with the ability to downgrade, and lots of businesses gave us the finger when we told them to upgrade.

So, as of right now, as we're still making money from it, all plans to stop XP are on hold, we just can't say that as it'll make us look even worse, expect an offical annoucement within 12 months"

Well thank you for extending the life of XP. Now fix Fista you lazy bastard, it's still in a fucking shocking state.

Can the next version of Windows have a *nix core, that'd be funny.

Ball powered?

Superball powered!
