5. POLL QUESTION 1
At what stage are your plans for Windows XP migration?
B) Planning
C) Execution
D) Nothing, accept the risk
A) Not Started

6. Microsoft to end all
automatic support and
updates for XP, without
security updates, Windows
XP will become increasingly
vulnerable to attacks
Have your applications been
compatibility tested? Has a
clear migration path and
strategy been defined? Do
you have a budget for
migration?
Good time to reconsider your
desktop strategy. Look at VDI,
RDS, application virtualisation
and SaaS in order to ease
application incompatibilities
and OS migration issues
7 months until Windows
XP end of life!

End User Computing Strategy
WINDOWS XP IS ON A COUNTDOWN…

7. Security updates for
Microsoft AND non-
Microsoft applications will
cease.
It may be possible to reverse
engineer updates for
supported OSs – leaving you
vulnerable.
Application publishers will
drop support for Windows XP
in future releases.
Modern hardware will not
support Windows XP. Locating
drivers will become difficult and
new features will not be
supported.
