eventually completely stop its support for the Windows XP operating
system in 2014. This means that Windows XP two years certainly would
be completely finished. This is done as part of the software giant's
life cycle policy of the operating system.
"In 2002 Microsoft introduced a Lifecycle policy sisem operations
based on customer feedback to have the transparency and credibility of
the support for Microsoft products," Microsoft wrote in its official
site.
According to this policy, Windows XP and Office 2003 products,
received the support of at least 10 years (5 years Mainstream support
and five years of Extended support). So that Microsoft would actually
stop support on 8 April 2014.
After the 8th of April 2014, there will be no new security updates,
non-security hotfixes, and other online support either a paid or free.
Microsoft would not want to force users to use the desktop version of
Windows, the recommended is Windows 7 and Office 2010. Because
