XP (SP2) support ends July 13

If you�ve been squeezing the last bit of value out of that installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or are continuing to run it because of proprietary software that you�re squeezing the last bit of value out of, well, you only have two more months of squeezing. Microsoft will end support for Service Pack 2 on July 13.

Now if you can somehow upgrade to Service Pack 3, you can forget about the problem until Microsoft�s Extended Support for XP ends April 8, 2014, assuming the hard drive in that PC you bought in 2001 lasts that long. Meanwhile, I wouldn't slack off on the backups.

And, no, July 13 isn�t on a Friday.

Support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 ends on July 13, 2010

Microsoft's page on this is here.
