Windows 8 unfortunately is a really horrible operating system. The new Metro Start screen is really inconvenient in operating the system. Doing simple tasks like Search and Restart now take forever.
Well said

I am personally glad Windows XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft come this April, but also somewhat concerned about businesses that'll continue using XP because Microsoft won't be releasing security patches anymore. If they have our confidential information on their XP computers, our information will be vulnerable to hackers that'll find security flaws in the system. The longer time passes, the more vulnerabilities XP will have.
That is definitely a concern for many businesses in recent years. Most larger businesses have already begun the migration to newer technology, but there are certainly still many smaller businesses that have not upgraded their equipment. We shall see what happens.
