Are you laughing when you heard Windows XP in the title ?

Are you thinking who'll be using the old Windows XP in today's modern age ?

Then you're wrong !

Because Windows XP is still being used on more than 39 percent of desktops worldwide. Whereas, the Windows 7 is dominating with 44 percent of all desktops.



And as Microsoft is moving further and further, they don't want their history to remain. And therefore Microsoft will gradually stop all their features to the old Windows XP. Forcing users to upgrade to the Windows 7 for the minimum.

What Will Happen After Microsoft Turn Off Their Updates ?


After they stop upgrades for Windows XP on April 2014, your PC may be vulnerable to malware and hacking attacks and thus you could lose your valuable files. 

Windows XP is a really old platform which was released long back in 2001. But it is really reliable and easy which makes it still dominant compared to tough competitors !
