Time is fast running out for Windows XP. Microsoft is ceasing all official support for it from 8th April. What happens next? You can, of course, continue to use your PC and XP as before, but at increased risk to your security and privacy.
What is better Ryzen or Intel? Choosing a processor for a PC can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to computing.
The ThinkStation P360 Ultra is a tiny beast.
burn it... lolz
I have one with Windows XP and I'm using it just the way I was using it previously
you dont need to do any of those things, just keep it and use it as you did before. xp was pretty damn good, its a shame microsoft like to screw people and make them buy new stuff when the old stuff is working fine.
To be honest, you are only at risk for a short while. Eventually people will switch (mostly the business' that become targets) and the attackers will target 7 or 8 instead.
Once that happens, "pirates" will patch things up for you and you will be fine.
I still use XP and will continue to use it for as long as possible. I personally hate Windows 7, it is so much less efficient and buggy compared to XP, and is much less intuitive and user-friendly as far as navigation, ease-of-use and UI is concerned. MS broke the rule "Don't fix what isn't broken" when they cooked up W7. And they screwed up even more with W8 (although unlike W7, W8 is pretty much getting universal hate, so hopefully that means MS will pull a 180 and fix it up).
Granted W7 does have some great features over XP (like native TRIM support), but every time I use W7 (I have it as a dual-boot option) I cannot help but hate it more and more.
With W7 I feel as if I have a lot less control over how things run, and it has so many useless (but required) services and other junk running that makes it even more annoying to use. Not to mention the text on W7 is much more blurry than XP, even after tweaking the cleartext settings to no end. Just google it, many others have noticed this as well.
It maddens me to no end thinking that one day we will be forced to use crappy OS's like W8 thanks to the rising popularity of tablets and smartphones. There is even tons of websites now catering to tablet/smartphone users and are removing lots of details/features from their site to make it more streamlined and simple for touchscreen devices. And no I am not talking about mobile versions of the sites, as the sites look the same across all platforms. Pretty stupid IMO, as they should just stick to the user-agent of a device and render the website accordingly... but no, website devs are getting more and more lazy so they just force everybody to use the same mobile friendly sites which removes a lot of useful features and items for those will full-screens and kb/m.
