> Five steps for XP usage past April 8th:
> * Run as a "Standard User"
> * Remove Flash and Java.
> * Use Chrome or Firefox, never IE. (XP can't run the later more secure
> IE's.)
> * Remember: updates are NOT stopping for Flash, Java, Firefox, Chrome,
> .etc....
> ONLY for the core XP OS.
> * MOST of the vulnerability updates are now in IE and Office, not in
> the underlying OS.
> * Use "LibreOffice" instead of MS Office.
> * Behave yourself... Don't do dangerous things.
> * (Embedded systems don't surf the web...)
