Windows XP was and still is a good operating system. But, at 13 years old, it's well passed pensionable age by tech standards and the time has come for retirement. Today (8 April) is the day Microsoft ceases extended support for Windows XP.
However, OS retirement is not an easy process. And with many organisations - particularly those in the financial and public sectors - still heavily reliant on Windows XP to power their business operations, there is fear, uncertainty and doubt about how to move forward.
Some firms have a migration strategy in place, others are working towards that goal. Others may be frozen in panic. There are real security fears in place now that support has been pulled.
