XP may be available after deadline

When Microsoft announced that they would be stopping the sales of Windows XP, there was an element of fear that drifted across the computing community, this is mainly due to the fact that its replacement Windows Vista, is not that popular and some users have even down graded from this version back to XP.

But there is a deadline that Microsoft has set to stop selling the operating system, and that is on June 30th this year.

But in a last ditch attempt to save computer users from exploding, the hi tech retailer PC World have stepped in and are trying to help out. They are looking to get the licence to continue after June, but it looks as if Microsoft is not going to play ball with one and so with only a few months to go it looks as if XP is finished.
