As Microsoft explains in this support page, “support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 will end on April 9, 2019.”

That left just one version of XP with support: Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, a version of XP that runs in point of sale devices.Īnd on Tuesday, that died too. Support for the second-to-last of those editions, Windows Embedded Standard 2009, ended on 10 January, 2019. The explanation for this conundrum is that Microsoft kept a couple of lesser-known versions of Windows XP intended for use in embedded systems alive. Readers may at this point consider the chronology above and wonder why XP died this week given that end of support took place five years ago. Microsoft released Windows XP in August 2001, ended extended support for the OS in April 2014 and this week finally turned off the tap of support for the OS.
