Microsoft looks happy that Windows XP is reaching End of Support in 2014. To highlight this fact, it has released a Windows XP End Of Support Countdown Gadget.

Looking to get off Windows XP? Use this handy gadget to count down the number of days until Windows XP End of Support (EOS) in 2014.

Download page: Microsoft.

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows Vista, 32-bit or 64-bit.

So, does it run on Windows XP? Don’t think so! A gadget or a widget which ran on Windows XP and which then served as a reminder  to the user that his XP was nearing EOS, would probably have been more welcome. Moreover it also checks if your Windows is Genuine!

    I am sure MS has filed a patent for this stupid applet. Instead they should rather improve their current clock applet which lacks a lots of features: 24h format, current date, digital format. This give the impression that MS is driven by a band of amateurs.
