[GreenKeys] OT: Microsoft to support Windows XP for an additional year...

[DR HOUSE]

Microsoft will support their very popular XP Operating System through  
December of 2013.
This is a years extension from their previous announcement.

Projections show most on-line use will continue to move to very smart  
phones and tablets.
Many have already made this change.

Most PC's will be used for large projects such as publishing, editing  
video's, storing personal data... taxes, spreadsheets, etc.
The NEXT GEN TV's... APPLE TV, SONY, etc will look more like smart  
tablets filled with a very large supply  of applications.
Broadcast TV stations will have to adapt or fall the way of print  
media .

Here's a list of MS Hot-fixes that could solve particular problems  
that are not covered in the normal updates for Windows XP SP 3:
