Microsoft yesterday kicked off what it called a "two-year countdown" to the death of Windows XP, its longest-lived operating system. Windows XP and the business productivity suite Office 2003 both exit all support on April 8, 2014, a company spokeswoman said in a Monday blog post. | ||

| Microsoft has been counting down XP's EOL. They released a Windows XP End of Support desktop gadget back on 4/19/2011 which I have ran in Windows 7 and Windows 8 :) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11662 |

Here's where we find the first real test of "Product Activation" and what happens when support is dropped for a product.
Will Microsoft, in 2 years.... 1. Shut down the activation for XP and say "Tough Luck". 2. Leave activation available indefinitely. 3. Issue a patch to remove it. Should be interesting. |
