[This is a cross post, relevant to quite a number of those here who work with this technology]
Within the next two weeks, I am going to purchase a new computer (digital video workstation), which requires use of XP Pro 32 bit.
I have spent an enormous amount of time researching the intracacies of video workstations until it drove me mad. I need XP Pro 32 bit OS, as it is the plank/foundation for my future work.
But, I am now confused and getting a bit anxious, with Microsoft's recent announcement concerning the phasing in of Windows 7 and phasing out of XP.
I need to know if I can still purchase XP Pro 32 bit, and what the future ie. next 12-24 months holds for its use by the end user and its 'support' by Microsoft?
Anyone here able to enlighten me, and clarify the news coming from Redmond?
Thanks.
