| 682588 | 2008-06-26 04:41:00 | Just had an email from one of my suppliers saying that from the 1st July prices for Vista HP & Ultimate OEM license will increase by approx $20. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that XP won't be available after the 30th June? :groan: |

| 682593 | 2008-06-26 14:53:00 | right, so from july onwards they won't mind the widespread piracy of XP, even by customers who would have otherwise purchased the software? | motorbyclist (188) | ||
| 682594 | 2008-06-26 22:59:00 | "The exact cutoff day for selling Windows XP is determined by OEMs [manufacturers] and retailers, who can keep selling stand-alone versions as well as PCs with Windows XP preloaded by OEMs distributed prior to June 30, 2008, as long as their supplies last," a Microsoft spokeswoman said two weeks ago in an e-mail. www.computerworld.com |
