XP Guy
Sorry to barge in here and ask a question that must have been asked and
answered many times, but a cursory look at the last 100 posts doesn't
seem to contain my question. Which is -
Has Micro$oft said anything about keeping it's update/server operating
for some period of time beyond this April, so as to allow existing and
new installs of XP to access the complete library of patches and updates
after the official EOL date?
For a previous data point, Win-98 went EOL in June or July 2006, but
MacroShaft kept the WindowsUpdate service running and serving the
library of updates and patches for Win-98 for at least 2 more years.
Has there been any word what will happen with XP?
And even more - will new installs of XP still be activated by Milkro$oft
- and for how much longer?
Will MS force one final WGA update upon XP land next patch tuesday?
