or even sell windows AS an image or extracted files at stores. No media what so ever from Microsoft. They would be saving billions of extra dollars.

Dell and others have been doing that for years. They don't ship an operating system disc, and after the first few months, I couldn't even bully one out of them. The best I could get was a system restore with all their junk on it.

Not.

Not is the answer why Microsoft will on 14.4.2009 put XP on an extended life-cycle?

From 14.4.2009 Microsoft will only provide updates for security issues, no more bug fixes, etc,...
