The following graph shows that only half of all Windows XP installations have upgraded to SP3 since its release. Nevertheless we see a large number of machines in enterprise networks still running under Windows XP SP2. Windows XP SP3 was released in April of 2008, which started the 24 month wind-down phase for SP2, so this end of support date by itself does not come as a surprise to IT admins who follow Microsoft’s lifecycle. Microsoft advises users who are currently on XP SP2 to update to XP SP3 or Windows 7. On July 13 of 2010, Microsoft will stop releasing security updates, hotfixes and other updates for Windows XP Service Pack 2.
