Windows XP Fans Petition to Save Their Favorite Operating System
Microsoft Corp. is set to discontinue sales of its Windows XP operating system starting this June, and a group of fans that doesn't want to see the company abandon XP have taken it upon themselves to rally behind the product. From blogs to online petitions, the fans are trying to make their voices heard in an effort to keep Microsoft from retiring Windows XP -- a move that would force Windows users to opt for the Vista operating system, which the company launched in January. Whether Microsoft will heed the voices of their passionate XP fans or continue with the phase out remains to be seen -- but the fact that the users are passionate enough about the product to stage such a public outcry against its rollover is something worth noting.
