SIAP: MS extends XP's sales/availablity life.

Sorry if already posted. To no one's surprise XP will be available longer
than previously announced. MS may act like they aren't getting it - but they
clearly see what's happening.

Anybody see the coincidence that this now matches when Bill G. is
retiring

I'm pleased to see MS finally be a little more realistic, although for
home use I think Vista is fine.

I find Vista to be very stable. However, it's a real shame that there
is almost nothing new with Vista that makes it seem any better than XP
for me. I turn off Aero glass because it's annoying -- I like the
clean look without the transparency. The 3-D window switching is not
very useful.
