love the quote, ""That's the statistical truth," he told reporters at a news conference at Louvain-La-Neuve University."
That statistical truth stuff is really useful!
Certainly do hope they extend XP. I am quite happy with it, my PC parts are pretty new though not up to the Vista task, and I have no desire or need to move to anything else in the Windows realm. Good news if it pans out.
From the Computerworld article: "XP will hit an end-of-life," Reuters quotes him as saying. "We have announced one. If customer feedback varies we can always wake up smarter."
From the CNet article: "Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the company could re-evaluate its plans to phase out Windows XP by June 30, if customers demand that it stick around. So far, they have not."
Apparently Microsoft's health plan doesn't cover hearing aids.

Chuckle, I got a kick out of reading this...
[i]"Some learn more quickly than others. It doesn't look like Mr. Ballmer is learning that quickly," says UCLA Anderson School of Management professor Richard Roll, lead author of a study that analyzed 11 years of merger and acquisition announcements by 2,589 CEOs at 1,740 U.S. companies.[/i]

[i][b]Fans[/b] of XP ? the six-year-old operating system set to be pulled off store shelves by June 30 ? have plastered the Internet with blog posts, cartoons and petitions recently. They trumpet its superiority to Vista, whose consumer launch in January was greeted with lukewarm reviews.[/i]
