Supposedly breaks and software bugs found in newer OS can be run backwards and found compatible with XP users. They're going to stop making updates to the OS, and effectively begin revealing bugs and exploits I believe for the OS anyway.

Even Windows 98 continues to get updated. :P

you won't get anymore windows updates, which leads to some security breaches, which ain't covered by windows security essentials (which is more or less an antivirus / antispywares)

QC, detailed better the issue than myself :)

yes but will that break my XP or leave it wide open for hackers? I don't get it why do there need to be continuing updates for it to function it functions quite well now ?

There are open vulnerabilities that hackers barely wait to exploit. Some are simply waiting for Microsoft to shut the door on the updates, then all hell will break loose. :P Consider a popular Linux distro or an upgrade to your hardware/software stack.

I believe theres a thread on this already:

not sure if i put this up or not - vessel 2R28H-KMXYQ-942N?

Windows Security Essentials is a POS...Windows itself is a security breach :P There are much easier ways to protect one's computer(even using Windows) than WSE :)

Thanks! :)

Pid - steam

And of course M$ predicts that because they want people continually paying each year for their latest shithouse OS :P
