Windows® XP – A Compliance and Risk Nightmare in April 2014

Guest Post By Lenovo

"The impact of even a few Windows XP systems within an enterprise after the 
April 8, 2014 EOL date presents such a substantial vulnerability and security 
risk that it’s hard to justify delaying the migration to Windows 7 or Windows 
8. With a wholly new set of threats that Windows XP cannot be fully protected 
from, and the resulting potential for substantial corporate liability, it’s time to 
get the migration process moving at top speed to meet the deadline. End 
users and IT managers should be acting now to put plans in place to have 
Windows XP machines retired by the EOL date. Prolonging the “agony” will only 
drive costs up and create unacceptable risks that someone will be blamed for.

Windows XP Risk Factors–What Will Keep You Up at Night


There are three aspects that comprise the primary risk factors 
for continued Windows XP use. These include:
