Microsoft to end Windows XP SP1 support | |

It has been well-known that Microsoft has ended extended support for Windows 98, 98 SE, and Windows ME. This support ended on July 11 of this year. However, something that hasn't been as widely reported is that Microsoft is also preparing to end said support for Windows XP SP1 on October 10. This isn't really a big deal, as SP2 has been out for a while now and is a free download for anyone who owns Windows XP. The security features of SP2 certainly make it worth anyone's while to download, but there may be a few applications still out in the wild that still have problems running on SP2. This probably explains Microsoft's addendum that they will make "Custom Support Agreements (CSA)" available to eligible enterprise customers. | ||
