Does he post without understanding what he is posting about often?

He obviously didn't read the article linked to in his post. It was in the second sentence that it was stated that Microsoft would support and provide security updates for a year to the UK public sector under this contract after dropping support to the general public on 8 April. Since he is new to the site, under a week, I wanted to point out to him that he should read and comprehend before posting observations.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

The end of commercial support for Windows XP does not mean it will stop working, simply that Microsoft will stop releasing security patches for the operating system

If you had read the article you would not have made that statement. The article states "The government has signed a deal with Microsoft to provide Windows XP support and security updates across the whole UK public sector for 12 months after commercial support for the operating system ends on 8 April 2014.". Considering that they will receive security updates this may be a cost effective way of dealing with the problem.

How will security holes be discovered if MSFT halt support?

Microsoft halted commercial support for XP but continues to provide security updates to the UK public sector under this contract.

You really don't have a grasp of logical reasoning. :rolleyes:
