Some points to remember if you still think that you cannot stop using Windows XP because “The end of support of Windows XP Operating System means that Microsoft will not provide:

  • Security updates
  • Non-security hotfixes
  • Free or paid assisted support
  • Any online technical support for the Windows XP.

As you read above facts and according to that in the absence of the Patches and security updates you are like a Soldier without Guns and at the time of attack you are unable to do anything, here the soldier is you and attacker is a Hacker.

We also strongly recommend you to Immediate Upgrade your OS before April 2014.
