XP now has less then one year to go. . .
The count down has begun, and the end is April 8, 2014 for XP and Office 2003.

Hi there
...."YOU WILL COMPLY ....YOU WILL BE ABSORBED -- RESAISTANCE IS FUTILE" -- SevenOfNine in Star trek circa 1996
Same message for Windows 8 --Microsoft 2013.
I think I prefer to be persuaded by SevenOfNine rather than Ms. !!!

Agreed. All our lab equipment are run by xp. As far as I know, most expensive engineering equipment are still run by xp. I doubt anyone will care if it will get support or not.Hi there
I'll still need it for a LONG LONG time yet -- I run XP as a VM and will continue to do so. I have a load of VERY EXPENSIVE legacy Engineering type hardware as well as an old HP plotter and a load of architectural and blue printing equipment. All this hardware runs perfectly fine on a VM and some of the original manufacturers have long since gone out of business. - This type of equipment is "Battleship Build quality" and is often the sort of equipment that will be in use for 30 - 40 years or more.
There's loads of other types of gear --such as specialized lab equipment / monitoring gear / whatever-- . A lot runs on dedicated systems so Internet access and security upgrades aren't a concern.
Don't expect XP to go away quickly even when official support ends.
(Incidentally -- also a bit of nostalgia --I have a couple of Minidisc systems too -- still work perfectly on an XP VM).
Cheers

I'll forget it gladly.XP You will not be forgotten :*(
It'll install, but you won't get any new security updates (or updates of any kind) after April 14th, 2014. Windows Update will continue to work for some time pushing existing updates, but that will stop eventually as well.
Microsoft reintroduces the Windows 8 Tablet PC again with THEIR own Surface tablets running an OS of which its UI is a similar talking point to xp's.
On another note, why does the US use month/day/year instead of day/month/year?
As to the date format, it was the standard in England when this continent was being colonized

The difference is XP lasted a heck of a long time.
