Windows XP: Going, going … gone?

This excellent Computerworld article is today's feature story on their web site. Mostly it is about not being able to buy a new copy of Windows XP at our local Best Buy, Staples, Circuit City, or whatever after a certain date. It once again, however, does show the Windows XP timeline and how XP will be supported by Microsoft through 2014. So, if you plan to run XP until 2014, and do not have your original install CDs or DVDs, you can go out any buy a fresh copy of it now - but not for long. You can keep this fresh copy on your bookshelf should the unthinkable happen (which, unfortunately, it does once in a while!) and you have a need to reinstall XP.
