No XP on New Netbooks after Oct 22

June 30th, 2026

Windows 7Microsoft has spoken (again). I've lost track of how many times Microsoft has change the date they will kill off the nine-year-old Windows XP once and for all. The new date is October 22, and it seems like this is the real, final, official death date for this popular PC operating system.

The reason for thinking things are getting serious is that Microsoft has been talking to OEMs, reminding them that they should stop pre-installing XP on new netbooks. What is the alternative? Windows 7 of course.

According to Microsoft, a full 88% of new netbooks are already shipping with some version of Windows 7 installed. If you ask me, this is a good thing. Windows 7 and netbooks go hand-in-hand. As netbook technology becomes more and more powerful, users are able to make better use of the features that this new operating system has to offer.

In truth, the change won't have much of an effect on netbook casino gamblers. Since the no download casino games that netbookers play run completely online, they are independent of the operating system installed on the computer running them. In fact, no-download casino games run equally well on Windows netbooks as they do on Linux machines and Macs.

Whichever OS your netbook happens to be running, there are piles of great instant play casino games out there waiting to be explored, so choose one that looks good to you and start winning!
