Microsoft Stops Supporting Windows XP

Windows XP,the most favourite opeating system from Microsoft will no longer be available in 53 weeks exactly from now.Microsoft in a report announced that it will stop supporting the 12 year old Windows XP os.Along with this support to Microsoft Office 2003 will also be stopped.So after April 8,2014 XP users will no longer receive official support related to security or maintenance of windows so that if users  are using Xp than the mentioned date are open to cyber attacks.

This most popular XP was announced in 2001.From then it became the widely adopted opearting system worldwide because of its user friendliness.Even now Windows XP holds more than 40% of market share being a tough challenge for Windows 7 ,Windows 8 and many other operating systems.
This is really bad news for XP addicts who never changed to other even though most of them are convincing.Microsoft recommends users to upgrade users to Windows7 or 8 from their old operating system as soon as possible.The company is also offering discounts for XP professional and home basic users to upgrade to newer Windows version.

The company is now offering 15% discount to upgrade Windows 8 Pro license.Now users can purchase Pro license and Office 2013 for 477$ with 84$ discount.So this is the right time to upgrade to newer version of Windows operating systems.
