So, basically, upgrade or you'll be hacked?
Two questions:
1. Does 7's XP mode potentially have this issue, or is there a compatibility layer so xp doesn't talk directly to the network?
2. They seemed to be able to make massive security updates for code that was that old, and still patch a number of other issues. What about this REALLY makes it so hard to code?
In the end, while I understand not wanting to waste resources on way older products, I think it is a marketing move.
