If you’ve been holding off on getting a new computer with Windows XP (instead of Windows Vista) time is running out soon. Microsoft stopped shipping retail copies of Windows XP as of June 30, however it is still available installed on new PC’s from manufacturers as a “downgrade” from Windows Vista for a while longer. Though exact dates are hard to find, the Windows Life-Cycle Policy website suggests that the Windows XP license availability (end date) is January 31, 2009.

In a letter from Microsoft earlier this year they gave the latest official word about the availability and support dates of Windows XP, promote Vista and mention the next version of Windows – “Windows 7” – which is expected to be released late next year.

If you need a new computer without Windows Vista, Computer Techs can get you a new state-of-the-art HP desktop computer with Windows XP Professional for as low as $550. If you’re ready to move to Vista, we can get you a computer with Vista as well. Just contact us for all the details.
