One reason many people are still be using XP, and other outdated systems, may be because they haven’t upgraded their hardware recently either. In fact, Windows 8.1 only recently overtook XP and Windows 7 is still the most widely used operating system. It’s been around since its 2001 launch and many people still use it.
All updates and security fixes will end for these platforms even though users can continue to use them. Seems like an easy decision, but of course humans do love to procrastinate.Įarlier in November, Google Chrome announced the end of their support, not just for the antiquated Windows XP, but also for Windows Vista, Mac OS 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 which are also no longer supported platforms by either Microsoft or Apple. Likewise, an increased vulnerability to malware and viruses were the potential negative consequences of doing nothing. More security and better updates and support are the obvious reasons for people to switch. Users of all outdated systems were strongly encouraged to update to a more recent, if not the most recent Microsoft or Apple system. Starting in January of 2016, they would be on their own in terms of updates and security fixes.
Google announced earlier in the year that Chrome would support Windows XP only through the end of 2015. In case the universe hasn’t made it obvious enough to people who haven’t upgraded their software systems in the modern age, Google Chrome is no longer supporting Windows XP.
