📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses HP's decision to resume selling Windows 7 machines, suggesting that Windows 8.1 and its features like the start button were not well-received. The original poster hopes Microsoft will focus more on desktop users with Windows 9 and questions whether Windows XP will receive another extension due to its widespread use in ATMs. A respondent comments that HP has always sold Windows computers and notes that the thread's title might be misleading, implying HP would start offering other operating systems like OS X or Linux. Overall, the tone is informational with a hint of skepticism about selling practices and Microsoft's focus.

I see that HP has decided to start selling Windows 7 machines again http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57...-demand/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20 I guess the Windows 8.1 and the start button gimmick didn't work out that well. Maybe with Windows 9 MS will pay attention to desktop users this time instead of blowing them off. Also I heard on the news that most ATMs still use XP Link Removed. Will XP get another extention?
