Microsoft Extends XP Downgrade Availability Until 2011

Generic News 1994 Published by

Somehow Microsoft doesn't seem to be able to get rid of Windows XP. Although the downgrade deadline was pushed back several times already, Microsoft decided to do it yet once again. This time it is a response to complaints that businesses "still hanging onto XP" expressed which otherwise would have been forced "to either stock up on XP-ready systems before April 23rd, 2010 or face the possibility of Vista-only downgrades thereafter."

A Microsoft spokeswoman said: "Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate customers will have the option to downgrade to Windows XP Professional from PCs that ship within 18 months following the general availability of Windows 7 or until the release of a Windows 7 service pack, whichever is sooner, and if a service pack is developed."
