The folks over at Infoworld have started a petition to save Windows XP, which Microsoft plans to no longer sell or support as of June 30th.
From Infoworld:
Microsoft plans to end most sales of Windows XP on June 30, despite a deep reluctance by many business and individuals about moving to Vista. InfoWorld believes such an expensive, time-consuming shift with problematic benefits should not be forced on Windows users, so we have decided to rally XP users to demand that XP be kept available.
I signed it, but did so knowing that it’s never going to happen. The only good that will come of this extremely ridiculous decision will be a new series of the ingenious Mac vs. PC commercials. I’ve always maintained that the PC is the far superior machine based on the price tag alone. To me it’s simply dumb to pay 4k for a computer you could get for under 2k, but this may actually turn me into a full-fledged Mac guy.
