Not the best of news for the third world
and those that cannot afford to upgrade for whatever reason.

Maybe someone will come up with an additional non-official security pack for XP or a version II,
just as we experienced with Win98.
Turkish coders are known to come up with these solutions.

Linux is free and constantly updated which is why that's listed as an alternative. :)
Of course, but many, if not most, of the remaining XP users are businesses that need Windows software to do their daily activities.

Well this is existing software: http://keyser-soze-s-unofficial-xp-security-pac.software.informer.com/

polonus
It is ??? No description. Download and install what ???
An external link to install Microsoft updates. When the Microsoft updates stop, what good will this program do ?
I would much rather get my updates directly from the horses mouth instead of through a third party application.

They could analyze the updates and make versions applicable to XP.

That's why business users should move their stuff to the cloud as much as possible so they won't need depend on a specified platform, at least they should use cross-platform applications... moving to cloud (At least an internal cloud) will save them a lot of money and time.

Hi Omid Farhang,

And then the next question will set in. What cloud to choose and to rely on.
Read: https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/download/government-access-to-information-survey-results/

No I think I see a lot of admins already started to migrate and test Win7 at least at school institutions they do for over a year now.
This now they can no longer wait with migrating to another platform.
To force this issue the deadline came at the right moment and it does not take large investments hardware wise.

But there still are a lot superstores that run good old  XP under their systems to just give an example.

New “Chromecast,” a $35 HDMI dongle to get video streams to your TV
I'm waiting for mine.
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=chromecast&hl=en
Update:

Chromecast also allows you to play content directly from the Chrome browser.
That means anything you can play in Chrome can be cast wirelessly to your TV --
video from Hulu or HBO, photos from Facebook, or anything else. In some cases,
you may need to use a laptop instead of a phone or tablet to accomplish this.
You can install the Chrome extension called Google Cast from:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd?hl=en

More when my toy arrives. :)

Something else to avoid and/or watch out for:
SourceForge’s new installer bundles adware!




CNet.com isn't the only one.  :(
