Windows XP will stop being available on new PCs from the end of January 2008.
Microsoft is keeping to a plan to stop selling the operating system even though surveys show a lukewarm response to Windows Vista among consumers.
A poll by US market research firm Harris Interactive found that only 10% of those questioned were planning to upgrade to Vista in the near future.
All versions of XP, including those made for media centre or tablet PCs, are affected by the decision.

I am so happy that I build my own systems! So as the saying goes “Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war”..
Yah I think its their way of also forcing people to change up to Vista……..Im seriously considering Linux
This WILL NOT force me to “buy Vista”! I will stick with win xp pro for as long as I can….hopefully a ‘trimmed down” version can be released without the bloatware and DRM …mabye THEN I will consider using it.
Microsoft is only cutting their own throats because a lot of people are wanting to stick with XP for different reasons so their decent sales may be limited this time around to people who make computers…as opposed to regular consumers buying their OS off the shelf in retail stores like Wal-Mart.
