where did you get that jem of information?
Microsoft. XP has had it end date extended a few times now and Im dam sure that the just released ASUS eee Pcs that come with XP will be sold for at least 2 years, they will never have vista because it wouldn't run on the spec.
Yes. As it turns out there is a special license for ULPCs. However since Pongo wasn't in the market for an ULCPC, that hardly seems relevant. You cannot legally buy Windows XP for a real computer, unless you have a volume license agreement. Toshiba have all the drivers for xp for there whole range avalible on there website. I love my toshiba ;O)
Sure. But for how long? Since new hardware arrives all the time, and no new XP drivers are being developed, buying an XP laptop really is pretty risky at this point. But don't let me stop you. Although Microsoft has stopped selling XP, they will officially support Windows XP until 2014
Yes. If you have a volume license agreement. Besides it's only extended support, which really isn't much support at all.
