This don’t make no sense:
Since September 2007, Microsoft has been telling customers all over the
world that its tech support for Windows XP would end in 2014.
It ends today.
As of 1:00 pm this afternoon, Microsoft will no longer publish any
patches or upgrades for XP, the 12-year-old program that is currently the second-most
widely used operating system in the world.
More than a quarter of the computers on the surface of the planet are still
running XP.
And this afternoon every one of them will become a potential target for
every hacker and internet-based criminal….because Microsoft is no longer going
to fix any newly discovered problems or bugs in XP.
Politico.com says some data suggest that businesses, more so than
individuals, have been unwilling to switch over to newer operating systems like
Windows 7 or Windows 8. That would cost a few bucks, of course….
Because of ignorance or misunderstanding or indifference or laziness or
irresponsibility, hundreds of millions of computer users are going to be
exposed to annoyance, danger and loss, starting this afternoon.
Who was the first person who assumed that man acts as a rational being?
Will the real Homo Sapiens please stand up?
