My understanding from a Microsoft website is that support ends on Apr 8, 2014 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx
If you do not want to run an unsupported OS, and do not want to upgrade to something newer...what is there left for you to do ? Just curious.

Has MS pushed up their schedule about WinXP? I am working to an 02-2014 'plug-pull' datethat I believe I got from the wise MS mavens here on our List. No. I do not wish to upgrade to W8.1 right now. I do not own it yet. No. I do not wish to upgrade to W8 right now. I do not own it yet. No. I do not wish to upgrade to W7 right now, even though I own it. I am still working a HALissue of a C2D cpu that may have a dead core. This is an old issue and I truly appreciate all the help I have received. Sorry, nothing worked. So,................. I bought a supposedly old, clean, copy of WinXP. After 3wks of dicking with it, I finally got it to erase the root partition and install itself. Funny, the install never asked for the 'product key. Odd? I just trucked on. It lives today. But, I am now stuck with no answer from MS Windows Update. Most depressing. Opinions, suggestions welcome. Duncan
