Six-Months-Before-Retirement-Windows-XP-


Windows XP will be retired in less than six months, but several online retailers are still selling the operating system at fairly high prices.

Believe it or not, but the 11-year-old Windows XP remains more expensive than Windows 8.1 at some online stores, even though it’s available with a pretty big discount.

At this point, a copy of Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 is priced at $140.99 (€105) on Amazon, with a discount of 29 percent, as the original price of the package was $199.99 (€150).

While it’s hard to understand why someone would purchase Windows XP now that its demise is just around the corner, it’s a bit surprising to see that it’s still more expensive than the recently launched Windows 8.1.

The core version of 8.1 has a price tag of $119.99 (€90), while the Professional iteration has the same price as Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 – $199.99 (€150).

I thought it was Windows XP SP3 and not SP2!

Shame, as XP was the finest ingredient to show the world what an operating system should be.

Shame M$ didn't think about this before releasing Windows 8.
