THREAT TWO: Microsoft is no longer supporting Microsoft XP
Some articles to read on the subject are:
From one of my favorite tech sources CNET, Microsoft to Windows XP users: The jig is up - CNET , more this one from MashUp doesn't look so bad, Windows XP Isn't Safe to Use Anymore. Here's What to Do Next. and lastly from Expert Views When Windows XP support ends, this is how you secure your PC and save all updates | Expert Reviews
What I got from the three articles is that we should upgrade XP now if we have not already. I was able to install the last fixes yesterday, so I think Microsoft is making the fixes available, just not making more. Since some large corporations and government are looking to keep running XP for a while, there just may be some other avenues to get our fixes in the future, but at present I am planning on migrating XP to either Win 7 or Ubuntu for my few XP platforms as none of them are trading platforms. Well not trading platforms anymore... WOW.
