[Elecraft] OT - End of the line for XP

[Joe Stofko]

Hello Jack, 

Well, that figures... That's what I get for 
paying attention to this report:
<http://www.eweek.com/showblog/47441/eWeek-Newsbreak-April-7-2008/>

Which... may, or may not be, true! 

And, you are right. I do not expect to see XP disappear into the 
abyss for the foreseeable future!

73, 
Joe

Direct from Microsoft (do a search there on Windows XP EOL). The EOL  
date for OEM's (those shipping XP on computers) is January 31, 2009.  
It will probably be extended beyond that. XP will be around and  
supported for quite some time to come.
