I mean in the sense that people have been predicting the rise of WinXP exploits after it ended support. And the April 2014 date comes from 2 years of mainstream support after Vista was released plus 5 years of extended support afterwards BTW.

What is funny is that the current exploits do not target XP.

It is not that simple, but I do think Vic Gundotra needs to be fired for a while now.

I am for fixing the problems with Google+ (such as the real name policy) not killing it.

Seems like he left the CTIA in 2004. IMO, he should be at the bottom of the list, if at all.

Submission + - MS reduced WinXP custom support prices (computerworld.com)

Submitted by yuhong on Friday April 18, 2014 @01:15AM

yuhong writes: MS reduced WinXP custom support prices (often by ten-fold) in the week before it ended support (to closer to what NT4/Win2000 custom support used to cost). According to the article: "Sources familiar with Microsoft's position claimed that the company changed its CSA pricing tune after chief operating officer Kevin Turner returned to Redmond at the beginning of the month from a swing through the sales force, where he got an earful about customers with thousands of XP machines and no chance of making the migration deadline. The decision to drop prices was made shortly after that."

Yea, I am thinking that FCPA should probably be repealed.

Don't forget lack of IE11 too. At least they are willing to support these users for the full 10 years unlike Win8.0, and yes this distinction is artificial too.
