Windows XP SP2 Support Ends Tuesday
This coming Patch Tuesday, July 13, will be the last day that security updates for Windows XP Service Pack 2 will be released.
After July 13, the product goes from its "Extended Support Phase" to "Self-Help Online Support." Security updates and non-security hotfixes will no longer be available. What will be left? For at least a year "Microsoft online Knowledge Base articles, FAQs, troubleshooting tools, and other resources, are provided to help customers resolve common issues."
If you feel you must remain on Windows XP, your only practical option is to install Service Pack 3. More information about this situation can be found in this entry on the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Blog.
