I believe it already started. MS is not making/selling any more OEM XP
licencing.
Read it somewhere in MS news.

What ridiculous, completely incorrect info, of course Microsoft is still
providing XP, they are actually releasing an SP2c (in OEM, not sure on the
retail end) because they ran out of product keys. Have a clue before you
post.

"Large PC manufacturers were slated to have to stop selling XP after
January 31. However, they have successfully lobbied Microsoft to allow
them to continue selling PCs with all flavors of Windows XP preloaded
until June 30, a further five months. Microsoft also plans to keep XP on
retail shelves longer and will allow computer makers in emerging markets
to build machines with Windows XP Starter Edition until June 2010."

"Bowing to pressure from customers and computer makers, Microsoft plans
to keep Windows XP around a little longer.
