After June 30, 2008, Windows XP will no longer be offered by large PC makers, forcing users to downgrade to Vista. The other, likely option is that we see further movement towards OSX, and hopefully more movement towards the widespread use of linux(you can always easily give linux a shot, and keep your Windows by downloading an easy installer here ).
