The END of Windows XP

The end is near!!!! Windows XP paid and free support will end next year. It is important to note that all unsupported software has an expiration date. Not only support, but the ability to use that software will end one day. Microsoft is moving farther and farther away from desktop applications. What support will end next? It is important to be ready and know your options.
