On April 8th, 2014, Microsoft will effectively flip the kill switch on Windows XP, which first debuted a technological eon ago in 2001. With no more support available for XP — no security fixes, vulnerability patches, or software updates — any PC running the operating system after April 2014 will be subject to cyberattacks, data and identity theft, hacking, and network intrusion, both via individual machines and across internal networks.
