Windows XP pre-installation will be banned on new Netbooks coming October 2010. Starting October 22, 2010 all new Netbooks will have Windows 7 pre-loaded.
After fail of Windows Vista, most of the experts consider Windows 7 as a true successor to XP.

Dear Sameena, Microsoft will not allow to ban any versions for any product, but the Laptop and Notebook manufactures can block in their cmos settings for windows XP installation.
But some experts can have the techniques to install all versions on any laptops.

Hi Sameena,
I don't think that Microsoft will do any such thing. Because Windows XP is a most successful product of microsoft. If microsoft do this then their will not get any thing by doing this. Because if the customer like windows xp then microsoft can't force them to use windows 7. same here with me also. I prefer to use windows xp rather then windows 7.
Thanks & Regards,
Prashant Sultania

Dear Sameena,
Yes,Its True Sameena.I have collected here articles from "Microsoft Blog"
"This week, Microsoft officials reminded customers and partners of that deadline date - October 22, 2010. As of that date, "OEMs will no longer be able to pre-install Windows XP Home on new netbook PCs," Microsoft officials said. (Microsoft announced this cutoff date back in 2008, when Microsoft called netbooks ultra-low-cost PCs, or ULPCs)
There are still a number of XP-based netbooks for sale at retail. But the number of Windows 7 netbooks has been picking up since Windows 7 launched in October. According to NPD's Retail Tracking Service, as of April 2010, 81 percent of netbooks sold at retail in the U.S. came with Windows 7 preinstalled (according to a new post on the Microsoft "Blogging Windows" site)."
get the complete information from this link "http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2010/06/windows_xp_banned_from_new_netbooks_in_october_1.html"
As From my point of view, I am die hard fan of Microsoft XP,But When I will think to upgrade my harware,resources,then i have to choose best operating system which is the latest one and giving me more flexibility,security and faster performance as compare to Windows XP,then obvious Answer is Windows 7.

Hi,
Microsoft is going to stop their support for Xp Operations system soon, only limited service will be provided by Microsoft. After some time they will provide only limited support to the Xp operating system not the complete support. If a vendor who is using a Xp operating system is having some issues, then Microsoft will provide only a limited support in fixing the issue, Microsoft will insist their vendors to upgrade to their latest Operating system windows 7 that is really doing good in global operating system market.
Check the below link actually it is not going to ban, it is going to stop service for Xp operating system soon.
