A need to offload a large inventory of old,
ie. non Vista compliant, hardware components
would be a good motive for keeping XP alive.
And you think he would risk pissing off Microsoft for that? I doubt
it. You guys are just net nutter conspiracy theorists. Here's a better
conspiracy theory that needs investigating. When the Xbox 360 first
came out some people complained about the lousy 3 month warranty. Some
twat Microsoft rep claimed that was the standard warranty on
electronics equipment. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together
kinows this is a lie and 1 year is the standard. Assuming your
customers are too stpuid to know better is a dangerous game. Now
Microsft has extended the warrantees to 3 years. If 3 months is the
stabndaard then why did they extend it to 1 year and then 3 years?
Microsoft plays the same dangerous game with Vista and assumes we are
too stupid to know better. All empires have their rise and fall, don't
forget it.
