Windows XP Death Watch: 365 Days Remaining

The XPocalypse cometh? Let's hope not, but be prepared just in case.

Microsoft has announced no plans to change course, in spite of the fact that the now three-generations-old desktop OS is still number two in terms of active installed base, commanding nearly 39% of the market while Windows 7 holds the top spot at just under 45%.
