The new site - XPMigrations.com - is a place for small businesses to look for computer consultants to help them move off of WindowsXP. It's also a place where YOU can register as a consultant to connect with those businesses.
As you know, Microsoft announced that after April 8, 2014, it will no longer support Windows XP, Office 2003, Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003 (SBS). As a result, small businesses who ignore this deadline will be on their own come April 9, with no support and service for these now obsolete operating systems.
I've posted the press release below. Also see the news coverage from Redmond Magazine.
I happen to know something about the funding of this project (NDA for now). So let me assure you that this program has a lot of support from some very big players. Trust me: You want to be part of this!
