Windows XP ain't the only OS retiring this year: Goodbye Windows 3.11
In other news, CNET reports that Windows XP is selling like wildfire at online retailers like Amazon. That's because while Microsoft may no longer be offering the operating system through retail channels, any store that's still got a few boxes in stock can continue to sell Windows XP until the inventory is gone.
Right now Windows XP Home version is #15 in software sales at Amazon, while Windows XP Pro is #14. It's not clear how many copies the retailer has left, but the operating system is currently listed as "in stock."

Win XP Home #15 and Win XP Pro #14 on Amazon Sales.
This is very odd, What if this is only a marketing strategy from Microsoft to sale all the copies they can?
Or how many copies did Amazon Stock?

It would be awesome if they pulled a "new Coke" and re-released XP a month after all the old stock sold down.

Interesting, I thought Windows 3.11 has been retired for ages now.

You can get copies of XP all over the place, as people let go their old puter for a new one, I've had people give me puters and could have had lots more. And each puter has a licensed, legal copy of XP on it.
