    As of tuesday, Windows will no longer get security updates from Microsoft on Tuesday April 8th :(

    I am a windows XP user myself, and if anyone else Uses it, Your pc will still run, but it will be more vulnerable to Viruses and Spyware, so here is some advice from me to give you :)

    1: Stay on the websites you trust. Like the forums :)
    2: use your Security system and make sure it is giving you total protection.
    3: Open a bank account and save up for a New pc, that is what i am doing :)

    i sure am going to Miss XP, one cause of its Epic paint system, in Windows 7, im gonna have to get use there new Paint system. :( So im working on my Comics on the school computers :) cause they Use XP still. One thing im NOT going to miss, is its Loud as hell startup and Shut down sounds, Its Red error Bar Sound. (seriously that thing gives me a heart attack every time i hear it. in windows 7 it sounds like *deeng* but in XP its sounds like *BWOUM* so thats why im upgrading to 7 in Summer :)

    Also, I would recommend to stay away from entering any extremely personal information into your XP computer, (bank account, email, etc) because since Microsoft is abandoning XP, it's gonna be a zombie apocalypse out there. T.T

    Windows XP...Aah, all of my nostalgia.
    Paint and Windows Movie Maker were a LOT better on those platforms, but Windows 7 has better support for gaming.

    All the Cemetery ghosts will be using XP from now on :3

    My laptop still has XP, and I plan to keep it that way :> Maybe in the years to come it will actually become worth something with it...
