  Windows 7 and a Bit of Microsoft Strategy
Time: 23:57 EST/04:57 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft announced another life extension for its supposedly retired Windows XP operating system, a sign that, despite almost two years on the market, Windows Vista is far from being preferred. The cut off date for PC makers to obtain licenses for the software was 31 January 2009. But now Microsoft has put in place a scheme that will allow the hardware firms to get hold of XP licenses until 30 May 2009.

Windows XP was originally due to disappear off shop shelves on 30 January 2008. It was to be removed so as to make way for Windows Vista which went on sale to consumers early in 2007.

Under the new, four-month extension, PC makers must still purchase licenses before January 31, but can choose to have the licenses delivered through May 30, 2009. This is apparently a move to keep system builders from stockpiling licenses as currency in a post XP future or at least until Microsoft can shove early versions of Windows 7 out the door in late 2009.
