For all those die-hard xp fans and users here is a good as well as bad news XP turns 10 tommorrow.

From softpedia
" With its best days behind it, Windows XP will turn 10 in less than a day, tomorrow, October 25, 2011.

XP not only managed to survive against all odds for the past decade, but dominated the operating system market like no other platform.


Released on October 25, 2001, Windows XP was developed under the codename Whistler, and was actually released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001.

Counting from the RTM deadline, XP has already been 10 years old for a few months now, since it was at the end of August 2011 that the code went gold.

Still, October 25 is considered the official birthday of the OS, and Microsoft is bound to celebrate it along with the impending retirement of this platform.
