My son is starting college in the fall - Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern - and they sent a spec for the laptop he needs which specifically said XP - NOT VISTA!! So he gets the 'downgrade'. This is the machine, BTW - http://premier.dell.com/portal/standardconfig.aspx?c=US&l=en&s=eep&cs=RC1102 437 Rocky Smolin Beach Access Software 858-259-4334 www.e-z-mrp.com www.bchacc.com -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Bruen Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 2:03 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] End of XP It was the wrong link - sorry. Essentially (now I've lost the right one), it said "The following is copied from todays Sydney Morning Herald supplement, The Guide - ICON Digital Living - Author Simon Tsang. XP LIVES (Again) - Windows XP has been given a stay of execution (of sorts) with Microsoft backtracking on an earlier edict to stop the older operating system being shipped with new machines after June 30. The deadline was itself an extension due to consumer demand. However, at the Computex trade show in Taipei on June 4, Microsoft announced that computer companies can continue to ship Windows XP with low-cost PC's until Jun 2010, by which time the next version Windows 7, will be available, allowing customers to skip Vista altogether." -- regards Bruce -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com No virus found in this incoming message.
