Still Running Windows XP Service Pack 1?
Microsoft will end support for Windows XP Service Pack 1 on October 10 and recommends that SP1 users immediately upgrade to Windows XP SP2. The Microsoft Support Lifecycle Service Pack support policy for Windows XP SP1 ends Tuesday, according to the company’s Web site. Microsoft initially planned to end support for Windows XP SP1 on September 17, 2006, two years after Windows XP SP2 was released. Earlier this year, however, Microsoft shifted the final support date for SP1 to October 10.
