It may lastly be preparatory to move down the accessibility ladder with computer producers (net books and the like out-of-the-way), but it seems like Microsoft is going to be footing by Windows XP for a good while yet, with it now promising to prop up the tried and true operating system through 2014. With relation to Microsoft higher-ranking VP Bill Veghte, that shore up will consist of security patches and "additional critical updates," and he adds that "customers who still require Windows XP will be proficient to get it," regardless of the plans to discontinue selling a retail product and bring to an end licensing it unswervingly to PC producers after June 30th. For those observing track, thatll indicate that Microsoft will be sustaining Windows XP for a full 13 years since its let go presumptuous it doesnt push out that shore up window for a second time when users repudiate to promote to Windows 7.

Weve been waiting for this for some time now, and today its finally here. After making one of the biggest blunders it could in the launching of its glorified netbook, Sony has axed Vista from the equation and instead replaced it with the much better suited XP.

Microsoft plans to stop offering Windows XP to netbook makers in about a year. The operating system is nearly a decade old, but is still being used in cheap, low power machines like netbooks. Now that Windows 7 has arrived Microsoft has realized that it is time they retired XP. And the new OS runs just as well on netbooks.

While Microsoft doesn’t plan to immediately retire XP, statistics shows that its market share is steadily shrinking with more and more netbook makers offering PCs with Windows 7 Starter edition. Plenty of netbooks with XP are still available in the market, but they are older models that arrived a year or so ago.

Is Windows 7 better than XP?
Well, the Windows 7 Starter Edition (which is the version used on most netbooks) is better than XP in many aspects, but it still doesn’t incorporate the best features of Windows 7. In fact, the Windows 7 Starter Edition won’t even allow you to change the desktop background. So it is safe to assume that Windows XP netbooks are more capable than the netbooks running Windows 7 Starter. Of course, buying a netbook with Windows 7 Home Premium will solve these issues, but they generally cost more and are less common. Another option is to upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium by paying $80.
