End of sale for Windows XP has been announced.

Found this interesting letter from Bill Veghte, Senior Vice President,Microsoft Corporation, regarding the ‘End of Sale’ of Windows XP.

Today, more than 1 billion personal computers around the world run Windows. Over the years, Windows has been the catalyst for innovations that have transformed the way people communicate, access information, create and share content, and much more, at work and at home. Windows is the platform that most people use to get the greatest value and benefit from their personal computers. Windows is also the platform that brings together the broadest array of choices across PCs, devices and applications.

To all of our Windows customers, thank you!

To the hundreds of thousands of partners that develop millions of solutions for Windows, thank you.

It also deals about the VISTA and windows 7 views.
