WINDOWS XP SUNSET SET FOR APRIL, 2014

Redmond, Washington – Microsoft ® has announced its intention to end support for Windows XP SP-3 in April of this year.  What this means is that thousands of technician laptops that employ this operating system will continue to function without the necessary updates or support from Microsoft.  I happen to know of one manufacturer that still maintains a Windows 95 machine because the downloading software for the subject control panel won’t run on any other platform.  A number of programs will run successfully on Windows Vista ™ and if you need help to migrate your system over, give us a call!
