In case you haven’t heard, Microsoft will officially be ending support for both Windows XP and Office 2003 on April 8th, 2014. What that means is that there will be no more patches or fixes issued from that date forward…any exploits that hackers may find, for example, will remain open and will not be fixed. Obviously, that is an enormous security risk…
Like all IT services firms, Northrup Systems is strongly recommending that users migrate from Windows XP and/or Office 2003 by the April 8th deadline. Feel free to contact us with any questions, and to create and enact a plan to get your migration done before you’re at risk.
