Hopsta Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 April 14th 2009, I think this will continue on longer as it did with NT. Far too many companies have XP and won't be upgrading that quick IMO. SP3 for XP is due for release early this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I was talking to my Microsoft account manager before Christmas and she was of the opinion that the support period will be extended too. She didn't know any firm details though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
