Dell extends Windows XP sales one week
Dell on Friday extended sales of PCs equipped with Windows XP by a week, citing customer demand. The Round Rock, Texas-based computer maker will sell three XP-powered configurations of the Inspiron 530 desktop and one model of its XPS 630 desktop through the early hours of June 26, Dell announced on its Web site late last week. Dell touted "Extended by popular demand" on the page, and added that the deal will end at 5:59 a.m. central time on Thursday.
Previously, Dell had said it would shut down sales of Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional on June 18, saying that it needed to stop taking orders then in order to meet Microsoft 's requirement that it ship XP-equipped systems no later than June 30. "We're offering select configurations through June 26," said Dell spokeswoman Anne Camden on Monday. "We're not offering any components or accessories on these systems that might cause a delay in shipping," she said when asked how Dell could change its last-sale date and still make the Microsoft-mandated deadline.
