More Reasons to Dump Windows XP

July 20, 2015

Unless you work for the U.S. Navy and purchased a mega support contract with Microsoft, you should not be running the unsupported Windows XP operating system. SC Magazine has reported that software developers are also abandoning the outdated operating system. Even though Microsoft stopped issuing security updates for XP, they continued to distribute definitions to combat malware. Last week was the end of any future malware definition updates. That means you’ll need to get a different security solution that still supports Windows XP. Those choices are getting harder to find. Oracle and Java support on XP is scheduled to end shortly too.
