Microsoft has been busy today "clarifying" the statement that Steve Ballmer made last week about extending the expiration date of XP. XP will not be available commercially after June 30.
That said, there is some good news. Dell plans to take advantage of a loophole in Vista licensing. It allows them to sell a copy of Vista but preload XP instead. This option will be available for Latitude, OptiPlex, Precision, Vostro, and XPS systems. Dell plans to keep doing this as long as Microsoft supports the "downgrade" license option, which could be forever.
