14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft will officially end support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014, which means that you have less than 50 days to move from the ancient operating system to a newer release.
Redmond will stop providing security patches and updates for XP in less than two months, which means that all computers still running this OS version could remain vulnerable to attacks and exploits supposed to take advantage of found glitches.
That’s doesn’t mean that all users are ready to make a switch, however, as third-party stats show that Windows XP continues to be an incredibly popular OS version these days.
At this point, Windows XP is powering 29 percent of the desktop computers worldwide, enough to become the second top operating system in the world after Windows 7. Of course, Microsoft hopes all users will move to Windows 8.1, so you have only 50 days to decide your next destination.
