Microsoft reminds WindowsXP and Office 2003 to stay for two years

Windows XP officially completed the RTM version, and Bill · Gates and Microsoft Vice President Jim Allchin personally flew the Windows XP code to the PC manufacturer. On October 25, 2001, Windows XP officially went on the market.

In January 2006, Windows Vista was officially released. The retail version of Windows XP was discontinued on June 30, 2008, and the OEM version was finally discontinued on October 22, 2010. Microsoft has repeatedly suggested that existing Windows XP users upgrade to Windows 7 as soon as possible. Today, Microsoft reminded everyone on the official blog that Windows XP and Office 2003 will completely withdraw from the historical stage on April 8, 2014.

In other words, in the next coming years, business users must upgrade to a later version of Windows XP. Microsoft recommends that you don't wait for Windows 8 and Office 2012, but instead migrate to Windows 7 and Office 2010. Windows 7 has sold 525 million copies, and many consumers are already familiar with the convenience of using Windows 7.
