Not everyone has been going with Windows 7 as there are many companies who have standardized on Windows XP Pro and cannot migrate quite yet. Microsoft is to discontinue support on XP Pro SP3 in April 2014 but just try buying a copy. Usually after the first service pack we will see further adoption to the new OS Win 7.

If you must have Windows XP Pro, Stealth has limited inventory that is available on a first come first served basis. Keep in mind this is the original OEM License and media and must be sold with a PC. Call our Sales Associates to discuss; Toll Free: 1-800-498-1777

Microsoft just released Windows XP Mode to manufacturing and said it will make XP Mode available as a public download on October 22, 2009 which is the official launch date for Windows 7.

XP Mode is an acknowledgment that many customers skipped Vista and will move to Windows 7 directly from the eight year old XP OS.  Microsoft says XP Mode supports older or custom-built applications, maintaining backward compatibility through a virtual Windows XP SP3 environment running under the Windows Virtual PC.

Customers that buy Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions will get XP Mode as a free download however it is important to note that there are some hardware considerations. A minimum of 2GB’s of RAM, 15GB of hard disk space and as well (very important) a virtualization enabled processor from Intel or AMD.
