THE POPULAR Microsoft operating system that refuses to die, Windows XP, has seen a rise in popularity for the second month running.
Windows XP, which reaches end of life in a little more than four weeks, has continued its bizarre renissance, according to this month's Net Applications figures.

This is the second month that microsoft has tried and i bet most people have received the windows xp support is ending email from microsoft. I have windows 7 and a few pcs with windows xp and i don't want to upgrade to windows 8 because i don't consider it to be an upgrade. for all windows xp hold outs i recommend kaspersky internet security 2014 because it's a great antivirus with great firewall. I wouldn't keep using microsoft security essentials with the windows xp firewall because it offers little protection.
I would also recommend that users with windows xp use firefox not internet explorer 8. mozilla has said that they will support windows xp providing that it is windows xp with service pack 3. As a side note i have used internet explorer 11 with windows 7 and firefox and firefox is faster.
