The news comes as Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer hints that XP could live longer if enough customers demand it.

I bet they do.

I'm also for it.

Let XP live. It should be clear for everybody now that XP is much more wanted both on private and business side than Vista ever will be. and it would be interesting to know a comparison between sales figure regarding XP separate discs (not coming preinstalled on complete systems) and Vista (laso not preinstalled on system). Those 140m Microsoft claims I am very very sure to stand only becasue it got sold as preinstalled software. the separate sales of the various (far too expensive) vista version I cannot imagine to have been a solid success. Possibly not even a marginal success. The bit I heared about Vista sales in stores is that it lies like lead on the shelves. Keep XP on sale, MS!
