Microsoft End of Life Windows XP, Sharepoint 2003, Exchange 2003 and Office 2003

As many people now know Windows XP is finally end of life. I must say personally it was one of the best operating systems ever produced from Microsoft, It's going to be missed dearly. So with the end of the road and no more updates coming to Windows XP and the 2003 family of products like Office 2003 and Exchange 2003, it's a great time to upgrade or look into the new family of products like Windows 8.1, Office 2013 and Exchange 2013, I personally feel Microsoft has done a great job and created systems worthy to carry on the Microsoft name.
