Microsoft extends Windows XP sales through June 2008
When Microsoft launched Windows Vista, it said that Windows XP sales would be halted on January 30th of 2008. Since then, however, it's become evident that Windows XP is still in demand, as evidenced by the continued sales of the OS by OEM vendors such as Dell and others.
Now Microsoft has decided to extend Windows XP sales through the end of June 2008, in response to feedback from computer manufacturers.
Let's face it, there are still far too many incompatible programs, missing drivers, etc. etc. It's no wonder consumers still want the ability to choose XP -- and manufacturers aren't blind to that.
At the same time, Microsoft also said it plans to extend sales of the most basic Windows XP Starter Edition for very low cost computers in emerging markets until June 30, 2010. That edition was previously scheduled to phase out in January 2008 also.

Personnaly, I use Windows XP and I don't plan to change... Don't forget that most of the computers at home do not have the minimum requirements to run Vista decently!! So I understand that Microsoft extends the XP sales.
