Summary: Things change drastically in April 2014, when Microsoft finally ends support for the much beloved Windows XP. It’s time to convert to Windows 8 or Windows 7 or Mac or Linux or BYOD. And time is running out.

It seems that every IT analyst and tech writer has foretold the end of the world as we know it for many months now. It has fallen on slightly hard of hearing ears, though. As April 2014 looms, there’s an air of discontent among IT pros. Many don’t want to change from Windows XP. XP is just too good. The only Microsoft alternatives are Windows 7 or Windows 8 but for many who face the challenge of upgrade and migration, neither of these are great choices. To be sure, this is the winter of our discontent.
