I was a little surprised to read that 74% of workplace PCs are still running Windows XP. I guessed the number would be closer to 50% and declining fast. But, you can’t blame businesses, there are a lot of reasons to stay on your trusted operating system (OS) like the following:
- If it isn’t broken, why fix it?
- Many businesses can be run entirely within a web browser these days which limits the demands on the OS.
- Will the new OS features really help your bottom line?
- An OS upgrade may force you to upgrade your hardware if you can’t find new device drivers.
But, it is important to realize that upgrading to a new OS will usually give you improved security.
Be aware that if you want to keep getting support updates you will need to upgrade to XP3.
