With the end of Microsoft's support for
Windows XP coming on April 8th, it appears that at least one major government agency is working to have the company offer extended patch support past its deadline as part of its migration plans.
The Register reports that the UK's National Health Service
is in talks with Microsoft on such a plan, which will include the company offering software patches for the agency's over 1 million Windows XP PCs until those computers can be upgraded to a more recent version of the OS.
