Govt negotiate support for Windows XP, Office 2003 for parish councils

The government has signed a deal with Microsoft to provide Windows XP support and security updates across the whole UK public sector for 12 months after regular support for the operating system ends on 8 April 2014.

The agreement  covers critical and important security updates for Windows XP, Office 2003 and Exchange 2003, all of which have reached end of life in Microsoft’s normal product cycles.

Parish councils are eligible under the extended support arrangements for Microsoft XP as negotiated by Crown Commercial Service.
