    Microsoft has taken a firm stance that it will officially stop supporting the Windows XP platform, (as well as Microsoft Office 2003), effective after April 8, 2014.

    I'm personally not worried. There won't be a lot of malware written for a 13-year-old OS, and I long ago substituted Open Office for MS Office.

    But yes, it might cause chaos in the corporate world. I'll watch with some amusement.

    Ditto here in NY. Surprised they don't run Linux.
