| Microsoft speeds up Win XP phase-out |
微软加速淘汰XP系统 |
| Microsoft is stepping up efforts to phase out its operating system Windows XP, including refusals to issue new security patches for Windows XP Service Pack 2. Microsoft doesn't seem particularly pleased about the success of XP, the mainstream operating system that still claims more than twice the market share of Windows Vista and Windows 7 combined, according to PC World. The SP2 patch is a significant upgrade for XP, while SP3 isn't as critical. Microsoft announced earlier that Internet Explorer 9 and the new version of Windows Live Essential will not be XP-compatible, in its effort to get users to upgrade. |
