Not worried

[Andy]

I am not worried when that day comes.

There are plenty of talented programmers who will help with any new exploits.
I would think that with twelve years gone by, there can't be many left anyway.

Windows XP will not suddenly stop working 53 weeks from now; it will boot, run applications and connect to the Internet as it did before. But it will not be served with security updates. Minus patches, and knowing how frequently cyber criminals uncover vulnerabilities, security experts expect hackers to exploit XP bugs that users will have no way of quashing.
