Windows Migration: Less than one month to go until #EndofDaysXP

There is less than one month to go to complete your Windows migration before Microsoft ends support for Windows XP; the so called #EndofDaysXP. Experts, including Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing group in volume 15 of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, warn of a firestorm as hackers release stockpiled attacks on the then defenseless Operating System.
If your organization has yet to complete its migration to Windows 7 or 8, then April 8, 2014 ought to be in your diary in block red letters.
Even if your company opts to stick with Windows XP and pay extortionate custom support charges, research has shown that XP users are at six times higher risk of hacking even before the end of Windows XP extended support. That figure will leap come mid-April.
