Microsoft doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to listening to its customers, what makes this group think they’ll pay attention this time? What’s the plan if the powers that be in Redmond don’t blink?

Thirty thousand people have now signed InfoWorld’s “Save XP” petition, which was launched four days ago. Roughly half were from the U.S. and the rest from other countries.

The petition asks Microsoft not to discontinue Windows XP as planned on June 30, but to instead keep it available alongside the newer Windows Vista indefinitely. InfoWorld will deliver the petitions to Microsoft later this spring

And what’s with the comparisons toward the end of the article? Comparing Windows XP to Coca-Cola? That’s just sick man. I’ve seen Coke cans more stable than some installs of Windows.
