i was browsing using Windows xp, and the only way to see the original page is to click on the cached page in google.

Well, if I go there with my Windows 8.1 PC I'm getting redirected to the very same page - of course without the XP notice. So the page you're looking for simply doesn't exist anymore...

Nothing quite nefarious as that. It's just that because your browser is reporting that you're using Windows XP, you're seeing the banner about the operating system reaching end-of-life. They haven't removed the content, the page was simply rewritten. The new article name is What happened to the boot.ini file?
