Windows XP will stop selling

  

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft has announced that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will stop selling Windows XP computers on October 22.

If you are ready to buy the retail version or OEM version of Windows XP, you'll need to hurry up. As of Windows XP, the time to market for Windows XP will reach a record-breaking 9 years and 2 months - a total of 104 months (listed in August 2001).

Windows XP originally planned to stop selling at the end of 2007, but Microsoft extended its sales period. Now, Microsoft plans to stop selling Windows XP on October 22, and that day is also the sales deadline for the OEM version of Windows Vista.

According to Microsoft's plan, Windows XP Service Packs 1 and Windows XP Service Packs 1a retired in 2006. Windows XP Service Pack 2 has been retired on July 13 this year. Windows XP Service Pack 3 is expected to be retired on April 8, 2014.


As of now, Microsoft has stopped technical support for both systems in 2010. Microsoft told the partners: "On July 13, 2010, Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP SP2; on April 13, 2010, Microsoft stopped supporting Windows Vista RTM. Enterprises should guide related customers to upgrade to the latest Windows 7 The system." Microsoft said that the extension of XP sales period is mainly to consider the needs of netbook users, but Windows 7 system is currently pre-installed in 80% of netbooks, which means users will not need XP.
