Why Ubuntu 14.04 is Best choice to Replace Windows Xp

Windows XP, a rocky OS from Microsoft finally got its end card by this year. Yes, the support from the Microsoft had stopped for a 13 years old windows Xp OS. Even though it is 13 years old OS and used widely all over the world but according to Microsoft it is old crappy thing, providing support and security updates for XP is so hard, some of the security loop holes are not yet fixed in XP.

If you are a desktop user and worrying about the security, want a alternate for XP, here is a free rock solid OS from Canonical “Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Long Term Support)” its absolutely free.

There are some of the valuable reason to choose Ubuntu to replacing XP.

Really it makes your search simple.
