Windows XP Support anti-malware support extension

Windows XP help and support cut-off starting APRIL 8, 2014 would have resulted in moving out of Windows XP from everywhere including the 0.5 million ATM machines.

Now this extension will provide anti-malware security till July 2015. Not much of an extension but better than nada.

Windows XP is 'no longer supported operating system' means,

"Windows XP users will no longer receive new security updates, non-security hotfixes, free or paid assisted support options, or online technical content updates from Microsoft."

I think users should simply bypass Windows 7 and go directly to Windows 8.1, of course this will depend on those selling software for ATM machines.
