Microsoft will shutter its Windows XP line June 30, as planned, ceasing sales of Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home to retailers and direct OEMs, Microsoft confirmed to eWEEK April 3.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
This could only mean bad news for Microsoft..again.
EDIT: Dammit.
I better rush out and get it before they stop selling this.
yay what a joke Vista is hope a lot more folks go to linux and macs now.
From an IT standpoint tho this is gonna be hell I mean if their forced to bump up to vista on commercial accounts... Personally I wouldnt be surprised to see our bigger contracts go to another os. I mean we can keep xp running for a while but with no more updates well have to move up and Vista wont cut it.
so there killing xp and rummer that there killing vista is every where then what there gona go back to windows ME (or 2000)?? coz windows 7 ain't even out of alpha yet i think?? dam i just gave away my vista for an xp lol not that theres a problumb with vista i think is better than xp but my laptop broke stupid hardrive error so i swoped my mum it lol so she has to wait 2 weeks to get it bk from acer lol
