If you are still a user of Windows XP operating system, you should think about it upgrade at o newer version of Windows, considering that there is less than a month until Microsoft will end anything back for the system you use. Specifically, starting with April 8, 2014, Windows XP he won't get any more Security update, the users of this system relying from that date only on antivirus programs installed to protect against virus and other types of malware or of online attacks.

To ensure that users are kept up to date with end of support for Windows XP, Microsoft started to display from March 8 and warning pop-up to remind them of the date from which they will no longer receive security updates for the system.

De asemenea, in respectivul pop-up, care va fi afisat in fiecare luna de acum incolo (cel mai probabil pentru a convinge utilizatorii sa upgradeze la o versiune mai noua de Windows), Microsoft furnizeaza si un link (numit sec learn more) catre o pagina care le ofera userilor information despre ce anume reprezinta end of support for Windows XP si, in plus, ii sfatuieste pe acestia sa Upgradeze la un sistem de operare mai nou sau sa achizitioneze un PC nou (If configuration celui vechi nu este compatibila cu Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1).

Pentru cei interesati sa upgradeze de la Windows XP la Windows 7 (inca mai puteti cumpara copii ale acestui sistem de pe Amazon or Ebay) sau la Windows 8/8.1, in cazul in care va intrebati care sunt datele pana la care Microsoft va oferi suport pentru aceste sisteme, puteti afla aceste informatii de pe The official page Windows lifecycle fact sheet (Windows 7 SP1 va fi suportat pana in 2020, again Windows 8.1 pana in 2013).

With the end of support for Windows XP, Microsoft will also end support for Office 2003. So, also its users suite Office must consider upgrading to a newer suite (preferably Office 2010 or Office 2013, considering that Office 2007 will receive more Security updates only 3 years, the support for this suite ending with the one for Windows Vista).
