Microsoft counts down to end of support for Windows XP

Microsoft has acknowledged a two-year countdown to remind Windows users that support for its Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Office 2003 suite will end in 2014.

The Microsoft Windows team said in a blog post that it now is a good time for organisations that still have PCs running Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003 to begin the inevitable migration to Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010.
