Abstract
On 8 April 2014, after 12 years, Microsoft´s support for its Windows XP operating system came to an end. The software giant discontinued security fixes, software updates and technical support to home and business users, with the sole exception of very big XP sites which could afford to pay millions to extend the cut-off date by an extra year.
