On April 8, 2014, Microsoft officially ended support for Windows XP, closing the chapter on one of the most beloved operating systems of all time. Launched in 2001, XP was praised for its stability and ease of use, but after 13 years, Microsoft moved on, leaving millions to upgrade or risk security vulnerabilities. Despite its retirement, Windows XP remained in use for years, even powering some ATMs and government systems. Its legacy still influences modern operating systems today.
