Well, it’s happened again – Microsoft has listened to the throngs of people asking to extend sales of Windows XP Professional. Windows XP Pro will be available now through May 30, 2009.

With Windows 7 in Public Beta as of tomorrow, I don’t foresee this date being extended again. By the way, Microsoft has announced the Windows 7 (The next version soon to replace Vista) will be available as a Trial Free download starting tomorrow, Friday, January 9, 2009. This is the first time that Microsoft has publicly released a Beta version of one of their operating systems. I hope that this advance testing will help with the stability and reliability of Windows 7 when it is officially released.

You can’t get XP Pro on your computer at traditional “Big Box” retailers, but you can still get it from guys like us.

Thank you Microsoft.

You have probably heard that Microsoft will no longer be making Windows XP available to purchase as of June 30, 2008. Actually, they were going to discontinue Windows XP in January, but there was enough backlash by big companies to get Microsoft to extend sales through the end of this month.

The bad news: Effective July 1, You can’t get a computer with Windows XP on it at traditional big box resellers.

The Good News: On-Site will have computers with Windows XP Pro available at least through the end of 2008!

No need to freak out because your business applications won’t run on Vista…just call On-Site and we will take care of your business computing needs.
