anuseems Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Nation acknowledges risks but hopes to find a way to patch and protect machinesFrom V3:The Chinese government has said Windows 8 is too expensive to be used as a replacement to Windows XP and is instead looking to patch millions of machines running the ancient operating system despite support ending earlier this month.According to a report on Chinese state news agency Xinhua, National Copyright Administration deputy director Yan Xiaohong said the government was aware of the security issues posed by the use of Windows XP and was considering its next step."Security problems could arise because of a lack of technical support after Microsoft stopped providing services, making computers with XP vulnerable to hackers," he said.http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2341158/chinese-government-sticks-with-windows-xp-over-expensive-windows-8 Edited April 24, 2014 by anuseems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPowell46 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 It has been 19 days since Microsoft abandoned die-hard XP users, in and out of the Chinese government, to their own devices. If any of the multitude who have been loudly prophesying a mass atack of XP-hackers have stepped forward to admit that they were wrong, I haven't heard about it.
