Running your home or business PC on Windows XP after End of Support makes you vulnerable to new attacks, unable to use new technology and bound to old computers and hardware.
A lot has changed in 12 years.
In 2001, Microsoft launched Windows XP to a computing world where USB 2.0 was not support, RAM was limited to 4GB and the average hard drive capacity was 137GB.
Windows XP was created for a far simpler world of technology and cannot properly address the complex home & business needs of today. Realizing this, Microsoft has decided to end support for their decade old operating system on April 8, 2014.
What does End of Support REALLY mean?
Microsoft has been providing you with security, performance and stability updates for Windows XP, which have helped to keep your home or business computer functions running. Without these updates, XP will have layers of security chipped away. There are thousands of malware and viruses dedicated to taking down Windows XP and stealing your information. And because XP is so old, hackers have had years to perfect their programs. After April 8th, Microsoft will not be able to help you if you decide to stay on XP.
