XP

It appears that on Tuesday (today) Microsoft stops supporting the Windows XP program. As I understand this means that everybody who has XP on his computer will be open to hackers or any other type of computer terrorists. Microsoft will not offer anymore updates and security protections.

As I read, the hackers are waiting around the corner with their tongues hanging out for the moment when they can attack with no fear. The fact that the better part of rhe world uses Windows XP did nothing to deter Microsoft to stop their support. Businesses and individuals will be equally effected.

So, what is one to do?

As I understand, the solution is simple. Download Windows 7 or the latest version of Windows 8 or even better throw out your computer and buy a new one with the latest program.

The problem is that every one of them cost money. One can not download a program for free nor can one get a new computer for no cost. It seems to me that Microsoft doesn't give a damn about what the public wants they are just charging ahead on their own agenda.

Their attitude is that if ain't broken don't fix it, so let's break it and then we can fix it.

Let's just hope that after today, we'll still have our money in our banks and our Social Security numbers are not shared with anybody else.
