I am sure that the message could come at a better time, was, after all that we have a lot with Windows XP. The average user of PCs by 8000 hours spent with Windows XP and the system is best used for connecting to our website.
If you are not ready to abandon the upgrade path to Windows Vista, what to do after the date of other options than switching to Mac OS X or Linux?
Technical support for your problems XP
Regarding the existence of support for the many technical problems that XP will be asked about daily life, some form of support from Microsoft until at least 2014, so that there will be another six years, although it may be difficult to obtain support.
You can buy a premium support service technician to work around this problem, or purchase software to keep your registry in tact. Or you can search forum for technology, because it is a good opportunity if you have a problem that other users have the same problem a lot easier than the question of Microsoft for their support.
XP on new machines
Although Microsoft has denied that you're not a computer with XP after June 30 to buy, the reality is that the situation can be a bit 'more complicated.
PC manufacturers that an inventory of spare XP licenses will still be able to machines with XP and the same goes for other PC retailers, for excess inventory to sell, sell.
Switching operating systems
Downgrade rights are the second way for you to get your hands on a new computer with XP to get. If a manufacturer of downgrade rights to Microsoft then will be able to sell a PC to Vista launched, but have downgraded to XP before selling for you.
When that happens, you will be supplied with the discs for XP and drivers, and a disc for Vista, so you can re-upgrade at a later date, if you choose. Dell has confirmed that this option will open for customers, but only lasts until January 31 next year.

There is a legal alternative way to get their hands on XP. This is a purchase of PCs, which "only a limited capability of hardware," a term made by Microsoft for machines running on the muscle does not limit the slowness of the processor or memory in Windows Vista. Laptops like the Asus EEE lack both processor performance and disk space to run Windows Vista. Instead, these machines must be running XP.
XP is still Hanging On
Actually, he lives on XP. You can still buy at least until June 2010, which could be extended again, and continue to incur to get to 2014. This is a time to say goodbye, to tell your favorite operating system, but one must be aware that at some point you have the conversion done.
