Those who are using Windows XP are obviously the same users that haven’t moved to Windows 7, let alone Windows 8 or even Windows 8.1. A second edition of the Windows XP doesn’t make sense especially because Microsoft hope it will manage to make money from the switch to Windows 8. Secondly, the world just needs to move on. Sadly, we don’t have the choice to keep using old software as we’d love to, so we just have to face the fact that we don’t have control over this.  Microsoft will stop offering security patches but it won’t offer Windows XP to third part developers, either, because there will definitely be plenty available to customize a version of Windows XP into a second edition. SPONSORED Another important thing which needs to be mentioned is the fact that people rarely buy stand-alone Windows licenses, as most of the purchases of new Windows version are linked to new computers. So, a second edition of Windows XP would appeal only to those willing to pay separately for such a product and there won’t be too many of them. If I were at Microsoft’s helm, I would rather discontinue Windows Vista than XP, but that’s just me. However, what’s still scary is the fact that Windows XP remains the most used Windows version worldwide, so it will be interesting to see to what new Windows version they will flock to.
