scccrew Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I was thinking about this what will happen when microsoft stops rolling out fixes and security updates for xp, if they havent already.. XPM will be then, vulnerable for attacks.. so is Microsoft gonna continue providing support for XP until support for Windows 7 finishes? makes sense.. doesnt it?

acido00 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Windows XP will end their support until 2014, so you don't have to worry about it. before 2014, MS will release Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many businesses are stuck on Windows XP during this downturn and Microsoft would be committing suicide to end security updates. We're currently hoping for system upgrades in 2011. Windows XP End of Life Timeline June 30, 2008 PC manufacturers stop selling computers with XP installed. Jan. 31, 2009 Microsoft stops selling XP altogether. April 14, 2009 Mainstream support (free live support and warranty support) ends. Free maintenance is limited to security fixes. April 8, 2014 All support for XP ends.

Southern Patriot Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 June 30, 2008 PC manufacturers stop selling computers with XP installed. Not sure where you got that info, but there are still computers being sold with XP (many netbooks, and some desktops from, for example, eMachines).
