Windows XP free support ends April 14

ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft will end "mainstream support" of Windows XP on Tuesday, April 14, 2009, meaning that there will be no more free per-incident support for that operating system.

XP users will still be able to get security patches automatically through Windows Update. In addition, it doesn't cost to call Microsoft if you have a problem installing Windows XP. However, calling Microsoft about other support incidents will cost the user money.

Microsoft already delivered its last service pack for XP, which is Service Pack 3.
