Microsoft Support For Windows XP & Office 2003 Ends Next Month

Microsoft will end official free support for Windows XP Home Edition and Microsoft Office 2003 on April 14th. That doesn’t mean the help centre on your computer will stop working, but you won’t be able to get free answers to your questions from Microsoft anymore. You will be able to pay for extended support for both products through 2014.

Microsoft will also continue providing free security-related hotfixes to non-subscribing customers. So unless you frequently make calls to Microsoft support, the April 14th deadline might not really affect you.

I love new technology though I am no programmer. Most of the time, every new worthwhile advancements made me wonder what the future of computing will looks like the next century.

If you are a Windows user or fan, Windows 7 is the future of Microsoft and seems it is winning over most of the critics so far. I have installed the Beta on my laptop and is running much faster than my bloated Vista.One of the biggest changes in Windows 7 will be integrated support for touchscreen devices. It is not just handwriting recognition and support for on-screen taps on touchscreen displays. Rather, the entire operating system has been tweaked to make it easier to interact with a computer using your fingers or a stylus, whether your system also has a keyboard and mouse or not.

Check out the video yourself. Impressed? I sure do. At least it is keeping up with its innovative competitor, Apple.
