Bonjour,

Windows xp n'est plus vendu, sauf pour les ultra low cost pc (eee pc par
exemple)

Tiré de la FAQ ms:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Q: Can I still buy Windows XP now? I'm confused. Some places have it, some
don't.

A: We understand your confusion. On June 30, Microsoft stopped distributing
Windows XP as a stand-alone product shrink-wrapped in the store. We'll also
stop sending it to Dell, HP, Lenovo and all the other major PC manufacturers
who would sell PCs that exclusively run Windows XP.

All and all, Windows XP isn't going to disappear overnight. If you need
Windows XP, you can still get it through what we call "downgrade rights"
that downgrade a new PC with Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista
Ultimate to Windows XP.

Also, you may see devices called Netbooks or ultra-low cost PCs (ULCPC)
running Windows XP Home. We intend to sell Windows XP Home for these
machines with limited hardware capabilities to run until June 2010. (Read
about the ULCPC program on Microsoft
Presspass.)<http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2008/apr08/04-03xpeos.mspx>

You may even still see copies of the software, or computers pre-loaded with
it, as stores and PC makers work through their inventory. Smaller, local PC
makers—known in the industry as "system builders"—can continue to sell PCs
with Windows XP until January 2009.
