What you should do to keep using WindowsXP after April 2014 by PuppyLinuxWorld
Just a reminder April 8th is coming and so is the end of support for windows xp. No more updates for windows xp and no more hot fixes. I have even had a laptop with windows xp that had a message from Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software indicate that it will no longer be supported after April 8th. Other problems I just recently had with a computer was that Gmail Email is no longer being supported by internet explorer 8. Of course the highest version of internet explorer in windows xp is internet explorer 8. The only way around this is to either install Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
There are messages coming up all the time on windows xp about no more support after April 8th. It seems to me that unless your computer is a stand alone machine and does not connect to the internet you may still use it. So do not share files on your computer from others, because of the possibility of getting an infection. It looks like Microsoft is almost forcing people to go to windows 7 or windows 8.
One suggestion is to go with a dual boot system using windows xp, Linux mint, Ubuntu or my favorite Linux Zorin. This way you can go on the internet with Linux for web surfing and email. Thunderbird Email seems to work very well.
