Windows XP an OS that was favorite by the users even before, and as the time goes through modern generation this OS has come to an end for life cycle and anything will be no longer update to fix issues/vulnerabilities.

Most of the serious vulnerabilities were fixed in the three Service Packs that got released for XP.

However if the users hardware is good enough I'd always suggest an upgrade to Windows 7. ;)

Windows XP was the OS that got me started on computer and what I know today. People will never forget Windows XP, but since it's coming to an end, they might need to upgrade before it's too late.

XP is running perfectly (unlike 7 / 8) on the older systems so I can't care too much about not getting more updates.. And we still have 2 years? If it is 2014 as I remember.

WinAndLinuxTutorials: Well perhaps on 2013 I will buy a laptop with the latest OS and that's Windows 8.
