Which... may, or may not be, true! And, you are right. I do not expect to see XP disappear into the abyss for the foreseeable future! 73, Joe -----Original Message----- From: Jack Brindle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 11:05 AM To: Joe Stofko Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT - End of the line for XP Direct from Microsoft (do a search there on Windows XP EOL). The EOL date for OEM's (those shipping XP on computers) is January 31, 2009. It will probably be extended beyond that. XP will be around and supported for quite some time to come.
