Microsoft have (sort of) extended the life of Windows XP by another 15 months. The original date for ending of support was April 8th 2014 - updates will cease on this date, but support for Microsoft Security Essentials will now continue until July 14th 2015. This means everyone has a little more time to consider what they want to do with their older XP machines - though with no Windows updates available, the best thing to do is to take action right away. Either now or next year - reinstall, replace, or take it offline!
If you're planning well ahead, the equivalent date for Windows Vista is April 11th 2017, for Windows 7 January 14th 2020, and for Windows 8 January 10th 2023.
