This is not entirely true, Microsoft will stop selling Windows XP later this year but they will be supporting and releasing security updates for it through 2014. http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN...=17&p1=3223 Even Windows 2000 still has another 2 years before it hits it's end of life. http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3071 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryee 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 yea there are a few people with bad accents at my work but it's definitely in Atlanta. the other call center is in Raleigh, north or south Carolina. you people and your non-knowledge of which Carolina is which. :sigh: Raleigh = North Carolina Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Durham, Asheville, Greensboro, Wilmington, Charlotte, Outer Banks, Cape Hatteras....all North Carolina! Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Rock Hill, Sumter, Clemson...all South Carolina! I advise you to use this as a reference in the future, as us Carolinians get cranky when you mix up our cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
