  I intend doing last update for Windows XP on old 2005 machine, removing
hard disc or taking image, so it can go back to Win XP if necessary,
(unlikely but - historical record), then installing a Linux (OpenSUSE
XCFE 13.1 perhaps or other) and using as a Linux box.

I have done Feb Windows update, is there a planned March update for XP?
The next planned update will be next Tuesday. As far as I'm aware, no
details have been published yet (this usually happens on Thursday), but
it's unlikely that it won't contain any patches for XP.

Martijn.

Apparently that upgrade cycle will also include a pop-up message from Microsoft to say that XP is end-of-life.
