Windows XP Days are Numbered

If you are still using Windows XP, and millions of people are, then there is a very important date you need to put in your calendar - April 2014.  This is the date that Microsoft will stop supporting and issuing security updates for Windows XP.  Microsoft's policy is to support a product for one decade after the last Service Pack update and for Windows XP that took place in April 2004.
It's not that XP will stop working, but it does mean that any security holes that are discovered will not longer be patched by Microsoft.  This will leave your computer open to every hacker and new virus that comes out.  Unless your computer is not connected to the Internet then you should not be using XP as of April 2014.
