ohhhh boy
if you have XP you no longer receive updates so you'll need to BUY crappy windows 8 that will kill your computer then you'll will receive the updates if you pc stays a live. use a little bit of you your brain.
yes there is. well not a lot but when you have 150 users with 220 computers it is a problem coz they always come to the IT to fix
'use a little bit of you your brain' - If the member did not understand or wrote something incorrect, you can correct him without saying this to him.
If you no longer receive updates to a Operating System, in which Microsoft no longer want to spend time developing on, you have the option to decide to move onto the newer Operating System releases of the Windows OS which will allow you to have the access to latest updates to that OS, also covering security patches. Or, the other option, is to stay on Windows XP, not receive security patches (and/or other updates) and have more of a chance for a malware writer to find and use a vulnerability on your system.
Of course, even with Windows 8 updates, a malware writer can find an exploit, and use it. Then, this code may be shared on bad forums which promote development of malware, and used by other malware writers in their malware samples. Over time, the malware is spread. If the user happens to be the unlucky one, this exploit may be used on his system if he opens it. However, the advantage to users running a newer OS like Windows 8, is Microsoft will make patches to protect users from this vulnerability in the OS. Whereas, if this happened on XP, the users may run out of luck with aid from Microsoft.
As a Windows 8 user, I can tell you that it is not all that bad (in my opinion), however it's different and may take some getting used too. Of course, everyone is different. If you really do not agree with Windows 8 (and the upcoming Windows 10), you could try looking at Linux and using WINE to run some Windows-based programs or using OS X.
Windows 8 may not be good in your opinion, however this does not mean it is NOT good. Some like it, some don't.
Cheers.
