In just a few short hours, Microsoft will be halting any and all support for its fervently-clung-to Windows XP operating system. Which—as far as we can tell—is going to leave quite a few people vulnerable to the internet's many ills.

And that's not for a lack of trying on Microsoft's part! They really, really want you to stop using Windows XP and make the jump to Windows 8. But the people know what they like, and in this case, it seems the people like decade-and-a-half-year-old software. So we ask you, are there really that many people still using Windows XP? Is that person you? Someone you love? Please, feel free to share—this is a safe space.
