Windows XP users in China: you can rest assured.

For the upcoming April 8 stop Windows XP support, Microsoft specifically for the Chinese XP users make a statement: will continue to provide Chinese users with http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/19803.html "> XP system security Support.

Outside China, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows XP as planned on April 8, meaning that the user's operating system will no longer receive security patches to fix the vulnerability.

For security, Microsoft has urged users to upgrade the old Windows operating system on their computers to a new version of Windows 8.1. In markets such as the US, Windows XP computer users are being phased out. But in China, Windows XP is still one of the best operating systems.

About 57% of Chinese internet users still rely on Windows XP systems, according to the analytics website cnzz.com. The operating system can still be seen in enterprises and schools.

One of the main reasons the Windows XP operating system is still not retiring in China is the rampant piracy. While Microsoft has been constantly trying to say that Chinese consumers and businesses buy the official version, the high price of operating systems is a key factor.

However, the retreat of Windows XP will allow Chinese security companies to take this opportunity to fill in the blanks with their own security products. Microsoft says it will work with China's leading internet security companies. Tencent, one of China's largest Internet companies, is a security provider to help Microsoft provide operating system support in China.

It is not clear how specific protection measures will be taken, but security support is not even important for most Windows XP users. Because about 70% of China's Windows XP users have almost never opted to install Microsoft's security updates for the past 13 years.
