Windows XP discontinued today

Microsoft has been providing support for Windows XP for 12 years.



And from April 8, 2014, technical support for Windows XP and the release of automatic updates, which increase computer protection, cease. Also from this day on, the user will no longer be able to download Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows XP. If you continue to use Windows XP after the end of support, your computer may become vulnerable to viruses and other security threats.

Especially on this occasion, the developers released a touching video that tells what the users were able to accomplish with Windows XP. At the end of the video, Microsoft calls to upgrade from the old version of the operating system to a newer Windows 8.1.
