Microsoft will not provide any support for Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 after April 8, 2014 means user can not get security patches, non-security hotfixes or incident support for these products. Personally i am sad after reading this news. I have just finished one of the project that based on Outlook 2003.
Without support users can face the following problems:
Problems without support
1. Security Risks
2. Most PC hardware Original Equipment Manufactures can stop supporting Windows XP.
Resolution:
1. Upgrade: users can upgrade thier system to Windows 7 and latest office version. this is the best suitable option for users.
2. Purchase a Custom Support contract through Premier Support from Microsoft.
