[AccessD] Future of Windows XP

Are you suggesting that XP is a security hole. 

Of course you have to ask yourself how vulnerable is Win2000 as no hacker would waste their time and personal respect on such product.

 Sorry, but I think your being naïve and silly<g>.

 There's been plenty of announcement about it, so they've more then covered
their butts on it.

 I think when you'll hear a lot of screaming is when Office 365 drops
support for the POP3 protocol.  Outlook 2003 and a bunch of other mail
clients will no longer work with it.

 Besides, XP is safer; all the hackers are now focused on Windows 7 and
8<g>.   XP has been patched and patched.   Don't know how many security
holes are actually left in it.

Jim.

I want to say that nobody replied to assertions in my post. I am really
curious what the rest of this group thinks Microsoft will do in terms of
security patches for Windows XP users left behind. Am I just being silly
and naive to think that Microsoft would not dare such users dangling in the
wind?
