What does that mean for the person that still has a computer using Windows XP is that you will no longer have any protection against hackers attacking the operating system or your computer
I still use XP, Virtual, as some of my software/hardware is not supported in Vista or 7.

On the optimistic side, hackers want as much publicity as possible and, while I don't have the exact figures to hand, many users have now progressed to Vista and 7 so hopefully the hackers will be concentrating their efforts there.

Still pays to be careful, though, and "use protection".
