End of Life for Windows XP... Same for Sophos Support?

Hello.

Now that Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP I am wondering how this applies, if at all, to Sophos running on Windows XP computers after April 8th. I'm guessing things won't change because unless the engine changes the defs and everything else comes in the same package that gets pushed out to our Enterprise server.

But, if someone could give me the full poop that would be great.

Thanks!

Hi,
According to http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119018.aspx
Windows XP (Service Pack 2 and 3)
Not before September 30th 2015
However that only gives AV updates, so you still have any security vulnerabilities in the OS, that won't receive any patches.
