Is Microsoft going to stop selling XP?

My friend was told by a computer salesman, or something like that, that Microsoft is going to stop selling, and supporting XP. I looked it up, and I can't tell if it's true or not. I think that it would be retarded on Microsoft's part, because most people would probably switch to Apple instead of buying Vista.

Microsoft has extended the sales of Windows XP for OEM until June. No one is really sure if it will be extended again after that.

Dave Mossberg says:



Even though the new Windows Vista is now being included on most new computers, is it still possible to buy a brand-name PC with Windows XP preinstalled instead?



Microsoft says it is still possible to buy machines preloaded with Windows XP. The company鈥檚 deal with computer makers allows them to offer the previous version of the operating system for one year after a new one succeeds it. And you aren鈥檛 likely to have the compatibility problems with some hardware and software that currently plague Vista.



However, it is hard to find a brand-name computer priced and configured for average consumers that comes pre-loaded with XP. A cursory check of the online sites for the two biggest PC makers, Dell and Hewlett-Packard, under their 鈥渉ome and home office鈥?categories, shows that all of the computers offered came with various flavors of Vista.
