I had meant to have posted this earlier last year, since I know that a few TiBB members still use XP, but official support for Windows XP ends this April. What does this mean? Basically, there will no longer be any future updates past April for Windows XP, meaning it will be easy to hack and break into. It is suggested you update to a more recent Windows OS, such as Windows 7.

XP :worship:

XP was a revolutionary operating system in its time and for many years after. Windows 7 is far superior though, it's not perfect but it has way more functionality and supports so much more than XP does. Anyway, if you upgrade your OS and miss XP too much you can always make a virtual machine to run XP on. :joker:

[reece(:]

XP :love:

[Natalie.]

Aw my old computer still has xp :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, I'd definately try to update to Windows 7, rather than 8. Windows 7 is basically XP, but a little bit more updated.

[Scarlett.]

Just a reminder, a little over a month until support ends.

So April the 8th

after that Microsoft stops Windows XP Security Updates.




The problem there is our ATM's
us XP.
and after the 8th
Hackers can Hack our cash machines

So when possible
after the 8Th of april use a ATM inside a bank.

Wow what a great company, not bothering to do what they are meant to do properly.

I have AVG on my XP so all good I guess :/

Edit: no wait I have Vista rofl

My opinion still stands however

Anyone with a Windows XP
should fined a page from Microsoft
which says you can upgrade to Windows 8.1 on Windows XP

I assume that would take a long time

RIP Windows XP.

Ew XP. :yuk:

It's a shame really they aren't supporting it anymore. XP still does just about everything most people need from an Operating System, and older computers don't work on Win 7 / 8 etc.

According to my stats only about 4% of TiBB visitors use XP. Which is a bit less that the 30% mentioned for overall XP use.
