As you surely know by now, the latest hype on the web is stories, news, or supposedly new quotes regarding the potential availability of Windows XP after June 30th, when Microsoft will cease selling the seven year old operating system. The latest development? Big PC companies like Dell and HP have found a backdoor to keep on selling XP after 30 June. And no, it doesn't involve Windows 2003.

Basically, the OS licensing we do is slightly convoluted...or at least it is to me. Maybe it's SOP to other folks. We purchase a machine from our system builder that has an XP OEM license on it. It's then ghosted with the copy of the Open License version of XP that we've purchased. According to MS it's legit, not that it's any big surprise. The license has been purchased, twice, almost.
Now with the advent of Vistard with MAC, and VLM (?), the world gets a whole lot more difficult.
