You can forget about simple updates for Windows XP. In the future, upgrading to the next versions of the operating system will be more difficult. This warning was voiced by Windows experts who predict that a significant number of large firms will continue to use the old version of the operating system even after they stop supporting Windows XP. Microsoft plans to send XP to retire on April 8, 2014. Security vulnerabilities will no longer be fixed.
“As our research has shown, large enterprises are not in a hurry to switch from Windows XP to Windows 7. Many have yet to do so. 64 percent did not complete the migration, ”says Betty Junot, marketing director for VMware, a virtualization software company.
Browsium, whose solutions allow users to launch older versions of Internet Explorer inside the updated Microsoft Internet browser, agrees with the statement of its colleague.
“There are large enterprises for which such migration is a complex and expensive process. These are banking, medical and government institutions. They are all stuck in the transition from Windows XP to Windows 7, ”said Browsium president Gary Cher.
Based on data published by analyst firm Net Applications, it can be assumed that a third of all personal computers running the Windows operating system will use the XP version for at least another year.
As for the corporate market, the share of personal computers running Windows 7 is 60 percent. This is Microsoft Finance Director Peter Klein said back in January. Since the number of users of Windows Vista and Windows 8 is extremely small, the remaining 40 percent of corporate computers can be attributed to Windows XP.
If Microsoft stops supporting Windows XP according to the plan, then, according to calculations of the Computerworld edition, about 450 million personal computers will remain without patches and updates.
Some analysts say that the PC market is “dying”, others say that it can still be saved.
