Support for Windows XP Home ends in a year

4 Jan 2006

Vista's not out yet but Windows XP Home will be obsolete after December 31. That means no free security updates for anyone with XP Home. With a devastating Internet worm infecting PCs right now, Microsoft will have to reverse this policy or have to face the fact that its Secure Computing initiative has all been for nothing: 'Microsoft' and 'insecure' will continue to be synonymous.
