Microsoft announced this week that it would stop support for Windows XP by the spring of 2014 as the company shifts entirely to Windows 7 and plots future iterations.
Users of Windows XP now have less than 1000 days before support for the product ends.
Microsoft has claimed that 400 million Windows 7 licences have been sold since its release in 2009, thereby justifying its decision to end support for the decade-old XP. Microsoft intends to do all it can to assist die-hard users of XP make the transition to Windows 7.
Erwin Visser, the Windows Commercial Marketing Team’s Senior Director said “One way users can stay updated on the latest version of Windows is through Windows Intune, our cloud-based PC management and security service that includes the benefit of upgrade rights to Windows 7 Enterprise as well as future versions of Windows”
