[LegacyUG] End of Days - Windows XP - 14 April
Hey Listers, Just a friendly reminder to those millions still using Windows XP. Windows XP will no longer be supported by M$ after 14 April 2014. For those of you still using this 12 year old operating system (OS) there are things you can do to keep it going for years. There is a very good tutorial on YouTube titled What you should do to keep using WindowsXP after April 2014. See: youtube dot com/watch?v=kr7ajYZD8CA The author is PuppyLinuxWorld, Steven Holms, a Brit. Mr. Holms also recommends other alternatives such as Windows 7 and various Linux OS distributions. I using am currently using Linux Lite for everything, but Legacy Family Tree, which is not fully compatible with Linux as yet. If you are still using XP and don't plan to change anytime soon, then you need to make sure XP remains safe and secure. Recommend you watch the YouTube video.

Re: [LegacyUG] End of Days - Windows XP - 14 April
Actually the date given is 8 April 2014. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help The windows site says As a result, after April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC. Microsoft will also stop providing _Microsoft Security Essentials_ (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download) for download on Windows XP on this date. (If you already have Microsoft Security Essentials installed, you will continue to receive anti-malware signature updates for a limited time, but this does not mean that your PC will be secure because Microsoft will no longer be providing security updates to protect your PC.) On the youtube page someone said the support will go to 2015 but I haven't found anything on the Windows site to agree with that. Am I looking in the wrong place?

RE: [LegacyUG] End of Days - Windows XP - 14 April
Since this is off topic, I’m replying privately. “Support” is a term that means different things to different people. Extended support for all of the Windows XP versions ends April 8,2014. Support for the Service packs has already ended. What is extended through July 14, 2015 is Antimalware support for XP. For consumers, that applies to Microsoft Security Essentials. But, patches will not be issued after April 8. 2014 for XP. So, if you have Security Essentials, you will be able to detect and maybe block certain malware on XP machines, but the underlying vulnerability will not be patched, and the malware could infect the system after that detection. It’s meant to give a little more time to finish the migration to Win7 or Win8. But, it will not make XP secure. XP is not very secure when it’s fully patched, after April 8, it will be even less so. Win 7 is secure and not as much of a radical change as Win8 is. All of my programs worked first time. Secure and stable, I have no reservations recommending the upgrade to Win 7. My only advice would be to forget everything that you learned with XP. Learn the way that Windows 7 wants you to work. If you do that, you won’t get frustrated and within a few hours, you’ll be so comfortable that you’ll wonder what the fuss was about! grin I’ve given that advice for a couple of years and people still thank me.
