Microsoft will no longer provide technical support or security updates for Windows X-P system and Microsoft Office 2003. Megan Carthel has more on how this will affect faculty, staff and students.

The longest-running Windows operating system is being phased out. As of April eighth, devices operating with the Windows X-P system will not be able to access any part of the University's network—including Wi-Fi and U-Drives. On May 12th, residence hall connectivity for the X-P system will stop.

Of the three-thousand Windows systems on campus, 190 are currently operated on the X-P system by faculty and staff.

Faculty, staff and students are advised to upgrade promptly their devices using the X-P system and to uninstall Office 2003 as well.
