XP SP2 Patches End
« on: July 12, 2010, 09:34:57 PM »
Tomorrow marks the end of patches for SP2 for Windows XP. What does this mean, it means that after tomorrow it won't matter how severe the vulnerability is MS will not be patching it. Windows XP SP3 will be supported until April of 2014. Look here to see what support has ended for what O/S's. You can read more about this by clicking below:

No sweat here Bigguy, I've been running XP with SP2 since it first came out and it is still in it's original form. I have refused to install any updates, patches or anything else and to date I have never had any security problems. Having said that, I don't use IE or WMP, I prefer Opera and Cyberlink Power DVD....

I would have stuck with XP but my PC forced me to upgrade.
