Windows XP being phased out soon

Microsoft is forcing PC makers to stop selling machines running Windows XP by the end of this year, despite ongoing compatibility problems and the continuous demand for Windows XP from users and businesses.

Demand for XP is particularly strong among small and medium-sized businesses, according to Dell, which announced it will continue offering some machines with XP pre-installed. However, the clock is ticking, and Dell and other PC makers will be obliged to stop selling machines running XP by the end of the year, despite ongoing compatibility and performance issues with Windows Vista.
