As noted by Dustin Childs @ the Microsoft Security Response Center :

This Tuesday's release will offer the last security updates made available for Windows XP and Office 2003. Both of these products go out of support on April 8, 2014. If you are unsure about the impact this may have on your environment, I recommend you read the recent blog from Trustworthy Computing's Tim Rains, which discusses some of the threats to Windows XP and provides guidance for small businesses and consumers.
