Microsoft denies it's running call-in 'save XP' petition
,----[ Quote ]
| After a popular technology Web site reported that Microsoft Corp. was logging
| calls from customers who requested that the company extend the retail
| availability of Windows XP, some users claimed that they couldn't get through
| to the support lines.
|
| Today, however, Microsoft denied that it organized any kind of call-in
| petition and pleaded with users not to dial its technical support numbers to
| ask for an XP extension.
|
| On Friday, Neowin.net posted a notice titled "Microsoft Taking Official
| Petitions to Keep XP Alive" that claimed Microsoft has been tallying calls
| made to the support lines.

Going out of business sale! Buy XP before it’s too late!
,----[ Quote ]
| I don’t recall ever seeing any company advertising the ‘old’ product over
| the ‘new’ product so strongly before, but Vista’s stink has grown so strong
| that it makes good business sense to promote XP over Vista. Has anyone ever
| been actually able to make a solid case for using Vista over XP? I haven’t
| seen one.
