Microsoft extends life of XP Home by 2 years
Posted 4/3/2008 by Steve Sinchak - Views: 1336

Today Microsoft announced the worldwide extension of the availability of Windows XP Home for an emerging, new class of mobile personal computers commonly known as ultra-low-cost PCs, or ULCPCs. Windows XP Home for ULCPCs will be available until the later of June 30, 2010, or one year after general availability of the next version of Windows.

Microsoft has heard from partners and customers that they want Windows broadly available for this new class of devices, because they want the familiarity, compatibility and support only available on the Windows platform.  Extending the availability of Windows XP Home for this category reflects Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to deliver the right version of Windows for new device categories as they emerge.
PressPass sat down with Michael Dix, General Manager of Windows Client Product Management, to better understand how the company is working with its OEM partners to make Windows available for this new and growing class of computers.
