End of XP support pending. No more security updates for XP. In addition, Microsoft threatened to end virus signature updates for Microsoft Security Essentials on XP on same date. But have since delayed it till 15 July 2015.
Was Microsoft hoping to force XP users to buy Windows 8?
Who cares?
People have told me they turned off Windows Automatic Updates for years; and everything is still alright on their PCs running XP.
Some Windows updates have caused crashes, instead of helping your PC.
It has not occurred to Microsoft that users can choose Kaspersky or Trend Micro or Avast or Avira, etc... numerous other security software and continue to use their XP machines.
Bad move, Microsoft.
Microsoft XP and Windows 7 are acceptable. Windows Vista was junk.
The recent Microsoft Windows 8 is an abject failure.
Microsoft XP is still popular.
95 percent of the word's ATM machines still use XP.
