Thread: FreewareXP

Windows XP's retail sales officially stopped least year, and even support will not be provided through updates after 2014. Of course, Microsoft still needs to sell Vista now, and not after a few years. Plus, under the Microsoft Piracy agreement, at, the company has made it public that they might issue an update that will remove
the need to contact an activation server at the same time. Users can then use XP without activation. So does this mean that XP will be freeware? Yes! From
April 8, 2014, you might actually be able to use XP without activation. But the
sad part about this is that users will not necessarily benefit from this, since the best features will be available exclusively in Vista and not in XP. A prime example of this is DirectX 10.
