XP has become one of the most successful products ever that’s released by Microsoft. Even compared to his successor - Vista - XP is much more popular and durable in use.
But unfortunately, the company founded by Bill Gates had decided to push Windows 7 further, as awaiting the birth of Windows 8 that’s predicted will be released in 2012. The result is XP OS version should be marginalized.
Based on plan, April 2014 will become deadline to support Microsoft's XP. After that date, Microsoft would certainly not longer issue security patches (security patches) and other updates for XP.
Not only that the developers who create application fro XP also support the termination. But for this case, the deadline can not be determined, depending on the developer.
According to Net Applications, XP is still the most used OS today. Unmitigated, the proportion can be up to 51%. While in the enterprise, XP's market share is predicted to be up to 60%.
Windows 7 itself is currently reported around 400 million licenses have been sold in worldwide. The amount is achieved since the release of Windows 7 in October 2009.
