While I agree that XP is outdated compared to 7 I will still say goodby to an old and trusted friend.
You've run your course XP, but you were one heck of an OS. R.I.P.

Just a quick note "from abroad": in Italy, many computer users still rely on Windows XP and while most computers come with either Windows 7 or Windows 8 pre-installed, they also come with either a DVD or a coupon to replace that newer version with XP. To the best of my knowledge, most government offices and hospitals still use XP. What will happen with XP support cut off I will not venture to predict.

If anything happens the lamestream media will be bleating it from the roof tops.

I noticed it's been going on for several weeks shoe-horned between stories of gunshots and car chases. *!rolleyes!*

I'm not worried. Nothing will hap...

The sky won't fall quite yet, but any XP users WILL be open to exploits that are sure to occur in future. Really it's past time to change....
