Microsoft has announced that as of April 8, 2014 support will no longer be available for for their popular Operating System, Windows XP. The world's biggest software manufacturer has supported the software for 12 years, even though they have released three major OS's since; Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.1. Users that are still using XP will want to upgrade their workstations to one of the newer versions as soon as they can to avoid the many detrimental circumstances that are often associated with running non-supported legacy software.

While there is no question that Windows XP has been a reliable and useful operating system for over a decade, its time of usefulness is coming to an end. Sadly, with the end of support date so close, there are still over one-quarter of all PCs running Windows XP. In fact, it was the world's most utilized operating system up until August 2012.
