while i was surfing some pages , i found an announcement about windows XP saying:
"In 10 weeks, Microsoft Corp. will begin to retire Windows XP by shifting the seven-year-old OS into a more limited support plan...
Windows XP, Microsoft's most successful operating system ever, will leave what the company calls "mainstream support" on April 14, and enter "extended support." Typically, Microsoft keeps a product in the former for five years, then moves it into the latter for another five, for a total of 10 years.
However, the long span between the releases of XP and its successor, Windows Vista, forced the company to push out the support deadline to 13 years altogether... "
