Windows XP Support Ends April 8, 2014
Posted: 2014-04-06 17:15:56 Expiration: 2014-04-27 17:15:56
Effective April 9, 2014, Microsoft is officially ending support for the operating system Windows XP. MERIT, along with IT staff throughout the school, have been identifying remaining XP systems and implementing OS upgrades, hardware upgrades or firewalling systems to comply with UW-Madison's policy on electronic devices connected to the campus network.
UW-Madison's policy on electronic devices connected to the campus network requires systems run up-to-date and vendor-supported operating systems or be firewalled off or removed from the network.
If you are currently running Windows XP on a computer you use to connect to resources on the campus network, please notify the MERIT Help Desk at helpdesk@education.wisc.edu or 5-4773. A consultant will follow up on options for upgrading or firewalling your system ASAP.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
