The article contradicts itself.

If I see this right, only someone already allowed to log into that PC could take it over.

 

Yeah I mentioned that and other MS statements some time ago in this thread but I eventually got the cr@p kicked out of me

 

And what's wrong with using Windows XP?
Mrk

 

Forbes is a magazine for money about making more money. The message I get from that article is that the government should be an example and upgrade when big money tells them to and that we should follow suit.

 

Whoa, Mrk, you're asking to get copious amounts of sand kicked in your face

 

Nothing, since I still believe I am secure in using it. Time will tell.

 

Using XP in Another pc together with ZoneAlarm free and Avira Free and i Think i am secured and have not noticed that any hacker has succeed to sneak my PC.
