I believe that the article is incorrect, or at least, misleading.. MS has committed to supporting XP for quite some time into the future. It will also be available as a retail offering for some time. What they ARE doing is pushing their larger OEMs to use only vista. Consider, for instance, large businesses with thousands of desktops.. they're not moving away from XP any time soon, and they still need to replace dead computers... A typical Fortune 500 company might have 20,000 PCs, all running the same OS. They have literally hundreds of computers die every month for one reason or another, and the replacements.. Granted, they often have a site license, and are essentially loading the image themselves...
