Thanks Mixture
When Push becomes shuv - In the short term I'm going to save my work to USB - re boot and re boot into Linux (Network enabled) and send the requisite attachments by EM that way. Of course this only applies in some cases.
What a pa-lava - But needs as must.
But cattletruck has the solution.
It's the ordinary users and I don't mean that in a derogatory way, who really are going to be stuffed by the forced change.
Company computers in many cases, are protected behind all manner of sophisticated technologies and its been estimated that by the cut off, something like 26% of PC's on the internet will still be XP operating system based.
I know the statistic is open to question and I bet that does not include those used in industrial applications.

But.....
"built-in or third-party security... running on top of XP is as good as having no security whatsoever. It'll all be exploitable via bugs in the APIs."
What a mess
Microsoft are a commercial operation and XP is obsolete for a number of reasons but Microsoft could have made the transition easier between XP and WIn 7.
