When will big-name computer makers stop selling XP-powered PCs? Not until they have to.
Three of the world’s top four OEMs — Hewlett Packard Co., Acer Inc. and Lenovo Group Ltd. — confirmed last week that they will sell XP-equipped machines up to and including June 30 .Only Dell Inc. , ranked second in sales last quarter by Gartner and IDC, plans to put an end to XP PCs sales earlier than that; Dell’s deadline is June 18, this Wednesday.
