Microsoft Has Pulled Off all the Support For Windows XP

As Microsoft already announced that they will shut down all the support and updates for windows XP from 8-Apr-2014, so officially the legendry windows Xp operating system is dead and internet explorer too with it. Company released the Xp 12 years ago. Mean company will stop issuing the security updates and support, which will leave businesses and users vulnerable to the malware and viruses which seeks the way from internet to a users system. So after Microsoft leaving the Xp, doesn’t mean that the Antivirus provider will stop the support to the operating system. Companies like Symantec, MacAfee and Kaspersky have shown the interest in the updates for Xp. McAfee says they will update the software until it technically to do so. Over all almost all the security companies are supporting and protecting users.



TechCrunch says “The fact is you need to be thinking about transitioning away from XP no matter how attached to XP you might be. Once your antivirus vendor stops supporting it, you’re playing without a net and you don’t want to be doing that. I realize that companies have years of customizations and links between programs built into XP and I hear you chanting the mantra, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But at some point you have to simply bite the bullet and give in and, at the very least, move to Windows 7.”


So if it comes to a business, this move from Microsoft isn’t good because a business company might have to spend few more bucks to train their employee to do their work in different operating system. As Google already shown the interest into PC software, they might building the new Operating system for the PC but it will not be a good move because they’re doing great with Android phones and operating systems.
