everyone should check they have a legitimate copy of xp before April as you will not be able to update unless you download a active x control from the Microsoft website to verify your copy is genuine if it is not then they can prevent you using any Microsoft product including Internet explorer

Or we could all convert to linux, which would be the smarter thing to do

I agree with syrus linux has been working great for me! I'll continue to use it even though I still have legit copy of windows, for the simple fact that its a better OS for my needs so far. I plan on using windows only for computer games.
