For those looking to upgrade to XP Service Pack 3, Microsoft blogger Erig Ligman offers instructions for determining whether you are on the latest edition and on how to download and update to the new software. For Windows , some online content may be available to solve common problems, but this wouldn't include any new security updates. Customers of Windows may be able to purchase custom support, but only if they already have a Premier Support contract and a migration plan in place to upgrade to a supported version.
As with Windows , XP SP2 customers with a Premier Support agreement can buy custom support, which includes access to security hotfixes, but Microsoft will only make the custom support available to customers to bridge the support gap "while they migrate to a supported product or service pack.

Microsoft offers support for its products for five years and extended support for another five years.
That time will soon be up for Windows desktop and server and Windows XP SP2: July 13 is the last day that extended support will be available. Click to expand Bahamut n00b. Joined Apr 27, Messages 0. So this is what, the 4th death of XP now? Astronomica Gawd. Joined Sep 18, Messages Does this mean i'll have to slipstream all the updates into a disk now, or will windows update still be available for XP?

Joined Mar 1, Messages The coverage here of the article is a bit misleading. Extended Support is the type of support XP has been on for a while already. It means you continue to get Security Updates, but no functionality hotfixes or patches.
If you want non-security hotfixes, you would have had to sign up and pay for the program a long while ago which you can't afford unless you are a big corporation. Once Extended Support ends, then there is effectively no support for the OS. No patches of any kind, security or otherwise, and they may stop keeping the KB up-to-date for that OS as well.
So, this means that Windows is effectively dead, as of July They are just making you update to the current service pack, which happens regularly. I'm not sure why this article exists. None of this is "new" this has been long-scheduled , and July 13th isn't all-that-close that we should be seeing "Windows support ending this week" articles yet.
Microsoft did fairly recently 3 weeks ago or so change some things with their service pack policy for extended support, but that didn't change any of these timeframes. Ashbringer Supreme [H]ardness.

Now that we have Windows 7, there's no reason to keep XP around anymore besides businesses, but even then Windows 7's XP mode can handle a lot of XP business apps quite well.
Sure, XP mode is slow, but we're talking business apps, not games. TexUs [H]ard Gawd. Joined Mar 9, Messages 1, Ashbringer said:.
