Microsoft sensibly wants people to upgrade to Windows 7 (it's money for them, security for you) so offering a widget for the countdown to XP's end of life makes sense. However...
Hilarious, but true. Microsoft, as part of its drive to get people and companies to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7 (and you really ought to, you know: Windows 7 is more secure and it was designed in the 21st century so it knows about things like SSDs, which make your computer go like a rocket) has developed a little Windows widget that you can use to count down the days until that moment in 2014 when XP hits its End of Support (which gets its own TLA: EOS).
So, that's a widget to get people and companies off Windows XP. With us so far?
And here's the page. Mmm... yes... System requirements... "Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows Vista."
We look forward to lots of stories and people who upgraded so that they could run the widget to tell them how long it was until they had to upgrade.
