Lawyers, Don’t be an April Fool for Windows XP, by Jim Calloway, Jim Calloway Law Practice Tips Blog

http://tinyurl.com/ma6wtf2

Microsoft has sent out its warning that the “end of life” for Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 is April 2014. See Microsoft’s notice at http://tinyurl.com/mnn29f6.

If you are still using Windows XP after April, tech experts predict a malware’s open season on your computer.

If you and your IT folks have not discussed this upcoming change, start talking and make adjustments to your technology budget. -CCE
