That's not entirely corect. Microsoft wants you to stop using Windows XP...and start using Windows SomethingElse (8.1, is it now?). What is more likely to happen: Android tablets, iPads, no switch at all (approximately in this order of likelihood). Either way, MS loses this battle.
- yiedyie 13y agoLoosing the Windows XP users could prove a strategic error. It could happen that they both loose the XP users and don't gain new Windows users.
- Piskvorrr 13y agoWell...it's lose-lose anyway: XP users, at this point, won't bring new revenue to MSFT (e.g. new Office, the biggest cash cow, is not compatible with XP, IIRC); and a migration is unlikely to keep the users with Windows, so no revenue there either.
