Shameful: Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP in two years

How can Microsoft consider dropping support for one of their products that is still running on 47% of computers?

(PHYSORG)- Microsoft is counting down the days until it is through with the Windows XP operating system for personal computers.

The US software titan used a blog post to remind the world that in two years it will no longer support the generations-old operating system that people have clung to despite the releases of successors Vista and Windows 7.

"We want to acknowledge the two-year countdown to the end of Windows XP and Office 2003 support," said Microsoft marketing director Stella Chernyak.
