WinXP hack resurrects patches for retired OS

hello,
a friend of mine sent me yesterday an interesting link:
Windows XP hack resurrects patches for retired OS
http://www.computerworld.com/article/24 ... ed-os.html
This article was published on May 28, 2014 but I never heard about it. Anyway, I installed the hack and this morning, after starting WinXP, the system has showed me some available updates (see image attached). I installed these updates and, as written in the article, all went fine, no problems or system crashes.
If you still use WinXP SP3 on old machines, with this method you can get security updates until 2019.
cheers,
Pietro
