To Windows XP

Suddenly found that Huang jiaju died for 20 years, not old words Lin Zhiying 39 years old, also Pearl Ge Zhao Wei all become a mother, the father of the new wax pen is dead, Naruto will soon end, XP stops service in less than two months ...... Ten years ago, we looked forward to our youth. Ten years later, we began to become old ." Windows XP running on half a computer in China is about to retire two months later. Recently, the home page of Microsoft website reminds me that it has aroused great attention and heated discussion among netizens.

　　No updates or patches are provided.

Recently, a netizen entered the Windows homepage of Microsoft's Chinese official website and found a page reminder: "Microsoft's support for Windows XP will end on January 1, April 8, 2014. Do not use it without protection ." This means that the XP system, which has been in service for 12 years, has been retired for only two months and leaves Office 2003, which has been with you for many years.

Microsoft officially said that it will completely stop providing patches and security updates, and will not resolve the new vulnerabilities discovered thereafter. In addition, the free anti-virus software will also stop downloading services. Sales of Windows XP operating system retail versions were stopped in June 30, 2008, while OEM versions also stopped in October 22, 2010, before that, Microsoft has repeatedly reminded Windows XP users to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 as soon as possible.

Microsoft warned that Windows XP continued to be used after the end of support, in addition to greater security risks, "because more software and hardware manufacturers have improved products to be compatible with the latest version of Windows, A large number of applications and devices cannot be used in Windows XP."

　　"Security Patch" market is large

@ The People's Daily official microblog said, "experts warned that once Microsoft stops its support service, unupgraded computers may be infected within 10 minutes ." Is it so scary? In just 10 minutes, it is a little exaggerated. However, if XP is found to be vulnerable to severe vulnerabilities and cannot be patched, your computer may be vulnerable to Trojan virus infection, sensitive information leakage, and computer malfunction.

Can the XP system be used? Of course, they can continue to be used. For home users, as long as your computer is normal, you will still see the familiar Windows XP welcome page after boot, but the security risk is indeed greater than the official "protection, previously, Microsoft implemented regular protection and updates. However, third-party security vendors may release their own patches and solutions for newly discovered Windows XP security vulnerabilities and viruses. Previously, 360 security guard said that it will continue to provide comprehensive security protection for XP users and provide protection against new high-risk vulnerabilities of XP. Some netizens saw that "domestic anti-virus software should be busy. Who should use the security patch! This is a huge market !"

Compared with individuals, for enterprise users, the stop of Windows XP support is like a "mine". potential compatibility and security problems will be nowhere to hide.

　　The risk of Windows XP being hacked is six times that of Windows 8.

Windows XP is about to be shut down, but more than 25% of users around the world are still using Windows XP, while Windows 7 did not officially surpass Windows XP in market share until October 2011, it can be seen that the user loyalty of Windows XP, the longest-lived operating system in history, is indeed very high, even in the United States, Microsoft's base camp, 22% of users are still using Windows XP. As mentioned in a Microsoft Security Report in November 2013, Windows XP users in mainland China are still as high as 57.8%.

The reporter learned that as early as a year ago, Microsoft had announced that it would stop providing support for Windows XP in April 8, 2014, and repeatedly called on Windows 8 through official Weibo.

According to the Microsoft Security Report, the number of known malware in 1991 is only about 1000, but now it has grown to millions! 12 years ago, the Data Execution Protection (DEP) technology of Windows XP had a milestone significance, but it is now just like a false one. It is difficult to prevent today's hackers from doing anything. Despite the fact that Windows 8 suffers from malware almost the same number of times as Windows XP, Windows XP suffers six times the risk of hacker intrusion as Windows 8 users! Systems and software must keep pace with the times!

　　The netizen gave up: "We need to use an unusable Day"

XP is about to "retire", and many netizens are reluctant to give up. The "XP stop service" was first published on Sina Weibo's popular topic version, with more than 1.24 million topics.

Because it has been easy to use for a long time and has feelings, for most netizens who insist on using the XP system, XP has high stability and can be used with peace of mind; Price civilian, comfortable to use; comprehensive and well-equipped, with peace of mind; high compatibility, easy to use. Although the official "Retreat" time is approaching, but there are still a lot of netizens say, "It will take a day unavailable ."

Some netizens angered and said, "To sue Microsoft, why should I stop updating my xp OS? I should enjoy the service when I buy it ." Some netizens who are familiar with the software on the XP system are even more "lamps", drawing and drawing tools. "When you think about the migration project, you will be confused ."

@ Bu said, "there are hundreds of millions of XP systems around the world. I really want to see what will happen in April 8. I always feel like the end of the world in 2012 ."
