So, Dell & Lenovo will offer XP beyond June 30th? Yeah right: read the fine print…
It looks like we’re not out of the woods with Microsoft. An ArsTechnica article tells us that Dell & Lenovo will apply the downgrade loop hole to get XP on new machines.
Now the fun part is:
-
* One [b]must[/b] pay for Vista Business or Premium, your choice, and you’ll get XP-Pro installed.
* Microsoft still gets its tax on Vista and classifies the sale as a Vista sale, not XP…
Can’t win… Let’s give Ubuntu 8.04 another try..
Regards…
