As we all know, Microsoft is pushing for individuals and companies to upgrade from Windows XP to something newer, preferably along the lines of Windows 8. The last Windows XP patch will be rolled out soon and last we heard, failing to upgrade to a newer version of Windows XP could prove to be quite costly.

This is because Microsoft will be charging for extended support like they are with banks, and it has been estimated that banks who fail to upgrade and who are requesting extended support could end up paying millions of dollars. However it seems that it is possible that when it comes to health services, Microsoft could be making an exception. (more…)

Leaking information like company information, software, and so on can land a person in pretty hot water. If you might recall it was about a couple of years ago when copies of Windows 8 began making their way around the internet? It was discovered that a Microsoft employee by the name of Alex Kibkalo was the one responsible for those leaks.

After a year’s worth of investigation, Kibkalo was recently arrested for stealing Windows-related trade secrets. Apparently Kibkalo, a senior architect at Microsoft, was motivated to leak the Windows 8 files, which were under a strict NDA at that time, due to a poor performance review that he was given during his tenure at the company.

As many of you guys have heard by now, Microsoft will soon be putting an end to support for the Windows XP operating system. Given that the platform is a little more than a decade old and with at least three generations behind, it is understandable that Microsoft would want its users to upgrade to something newer.

However it seems that security software company, AVAST, doesn’t seem too thrilled that Microsoft will be putting an end to Windows XP, claiming that by abandoning Windows XP, Microsoft will be making a big mistake as they fear that this could lead to a huge security nightmare. (more…)
