Windows XP's days have been numbered for a long time now. A long, long time. Just when it seemed like the end was in sight for Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s flagship OS, it's had its lifespan granted one extension after another -- first due to popular demand, then due to the rise of the netbook (where XP turned out to be a far better fit than Vista). Now, with Windows 7 well on the way, riding a cresting wave of positive feedback, XP looks like it's finally on its way out.
That doesn't mean everyone still using XP now is instantly going to toss it and grab up a copy of Windows 7. Historically, most people upgrade to a new version of Windows by buying a new PC, and not by picking up Windows in an off-the-shelf package. [Comments...]
