That's FAR from having to get used to Vista.
Business section of the Washington Post also announced over the weekend that even though XP distribution would end in '08, they have extended support for Dell, HP and other companies for new installations on their computers through 2010 and will continue to retail XP as well. Sounds like it will be around for sometime to come.
