Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) softened its hard-line stance on halting support for Windows XP after the April 2014 cutoff date, stating it will provide antimalware signature updates for XP users through July 14, 2015. The move, Microsoft said, is designed to help businesses complete XP migrations.
Microsoft antimalware support is extended to enterprise XP customers running System Center Endpoint Protection, Forefront Client Security, Forefront Endpoint Protection and Windows Intune. XP antimalware support for consumers is extended to users running Microsoft Security Essentials.

After April 8, 2014, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, nonsecurity hotfixes, free or paid assisted support options and online technical content updates. The only support, Microsoft said, will be antimalware updates.
