[Nottingham] The first Microsoft "Patch Tuesday" where WinXP is left ragged...

Folks,

Tomorrow (Tuesday 13/05/2014) is supposedly the "Microsoft Patch
Tuesday" day that WinXP is left abandoned for the masses to crash and
burn...

Will there be a race on by various spam groups to see who can gain kudos
for the first exploit?...

How long before the first headlines?...

(And why is such an old system so very widely used still from so long
ago?...)


Although this Thursday's meet is about music to your ears, everyone is
welcome to come along to see what Linux is and what it looks like and to
see how that all compares to the old Windows.

Is there any interest even for an impromptu install-fest?


Happy computing freedom :-)

Cheers,
Martin
