Old versions of Microsoft operating systems are well past their support date and nobody has stepped up to actually do what you&#8217;re suggesting; nor do I suspect that Microsoft would actually support that.<\/p>\n<p>Windows XP does have a large installed base today. It&#8217;s just under half of all computers on the planet. That number is dropping and I believe that neither Microsoft nor some other company (even if Microsoft would let them) are really going to be that interested in supporting a market that is only by definition going to get smaller over time.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/ask-leo.com\/will_someone_provide_security_updates_for_windows_xp_after_microsoft_stops_supporting_it.html\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This post is excerpted with permission from Leo Notenboom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ripXP.jpg\" alt=\"should you stop using Windows XP?\" title=\"should you stop using Windows XP?\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-31267\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Windows XP, at the time of this writing, has a large install base, but no one has stepped up to support this market as it is getting smaller.
