Originally, sales would have ended very shortly.<\/p>\n<p>From the press release:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Today at Computex, Microsoft Corp. announced that following the success of Windows on netbooks, the Windows offering is being extended to include nettop devices. Netbooks are commonly referred to as ultralow-cost PCs (ULCPCs) and were originally intended for students and other first-time PC customers in emerging markets. Nettop refers to desktops that are ultralow-cost.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Microsoft announced the worldwide extension of the availability of Windows for this emerging class of devices that are primarily used for e-mail, accessing the Internet and instant messaging, and the company is seeing much demand among industry partners who want to ensure that customers can have the benefits of Windows on both new and existing devices.<\/p>\n<p>Customers are asking for Windows on these devices because the experience is familiar to existing PC users and easy to learn for customers who are new to computing. Customers want to be able to take advantage of the wide range of applications, devices and online experiences supported by Windows today. Microsoft partners also appreciate Windows-based solutions for these computers because they already know how to build and support high-quality systems that are powered by Windows.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/presspass\/press\/2008\/jun08\/06-03ComputexPR.mspx\">Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today at Computex, Microsoft has officially announced that they will be extending sales of Windows XP for Netbook \/ Sub-Notebook (or Nettop as Microsoft is calling them) devices.
