Date: June 2nd, 2014 1:51 PM Author: pearly mischievous step-uncle's house idea he suggested Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP in April, but a simple registry hack lets users continue to get security updates.
The hack, as reported by ZDNet, fools Microsoft into thinking the system is running Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, a variant of XP that's used by ATMs and cash registers. Those systems will keep getting security updates until 2019.
All XP users need to do is create a text file with the following contents:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
Then, change the file extension from “.txt” to “.reg,” and run the file in Windows Explorer. Opening Windows Update at this point should reveal several new security updates. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2310301/windows-xp-registry-hack-keeps-the-security-updates-rolling.html |

It's just part of the good-shit cycle.
