Microsoft’s support for Windows XP systems is going to end on April 8, 2014 and it is estimated that 16 percent of the 4 million units of Microsoft PC install base for large enterprises inIndiaare yet to migrate to Windows 7.
There are roughly about 100,000 ATMs inIndiaand many of them are running on Windows XP. These automated teller machines if not upgraded, may face security risk.
The cause of concern for many XP users remain that once Microsoft stops releasing XP updates and support, the operating system will become vulnerable to malware, viruses and hackers. Moreover, migration of Windows XP requires a good amount of time and money.
Novell promises a solution to the end users.
