Windows XP retail/oem question

Modcon · 16 Jun 2008 at 15:13

I have read on the tweakguides.com website that Windows XP retail will be discontinued at the end of this month. What i would like to know is will Overclockers UK still be selling Windows XP oem after the end of this month?

XP's EOL isn't until atleast Jan 09 IIRC.

And it may well go on beyond that.

You were aware that there is a difference between a products "End of Life" when basically all support for it ceases and when a product can no longer actually be purchased?
Quite often a product is discontinued (not available to buy) quite a while before EOL.
