Dell lays down the law: no more Windows XP shipments after October 22nd

Microsoft already informed its most moneyed partners that no more systems could leave their labs after October 22nd with Windows XP, but given that the proverbial boy has cried wolf before , we were inclined to think that we’d eventually face yet another push back.

Microsoft already informed its most moneyed partners that no more systems could leave their labs after October 22nd with Windows XP, but given that the proverbial boy has cried wolf before , we were inclined to think that we’d eventually face yet another push back. We guess there’s still a few ticks of the clock left between now and that fateful day, but there seems to be little hope for XP to live on in any significant form beyond the aforesaid date. Dell has just published a report noting that they will stop offering XP on new machines later this month in preparation for October’s cutoff, though they’re quick to point out that Microsoft will continue Windows XP driver support until December 2012.

Win XP needs some TLC to use next-gen hard drives

Solid state drives may be the fast-moving wave of the future in PC storage, but the technology for bigger and better magnetic media keeps on trucking. Only recently, that truck hit something of a pothole: the 4096-byte sector size that will allow advanced format drives to have more usable space (and surpass the current 2TB capacity limit) doesn’t play nice with the world’s most popular OS — Windows XP.

Patch for ancient DOS bug in latest Windows XP update causing blue screen errors

Looks like Patch Tuesday turned into BSOD Tuesday for some Windows XP users — Microsoft’s latest security updates for the venerable OS are causing blue screens and endless reboots for people. That’s the word according to a growing support thread on Microsoft’s site — and making matters just slightly worse / funnier, it’s apparently the patch for that 17-year-old DOS vulnerability that’s causing all the trouble.

ViewSonic VPC08 MID/phone appears on video, fails to steal xpPhone’s thunder

Maybe it’s all the talk of the ITG xpPhone that’s made ViewSonic’s VPC08 come out of hiding, but the phone/MID contraption is finally making a video appearance and revealing why it’s so damn thick. Unlike the xpPhone the VPC08 is actually an ordinary feature phone with a 2-inch display stuck on top of an Atom Z500-powered 4.3-inch MID
