Chrome to help XP users surf the net putting the rest of us at risk

Google has announced that it will extend Chromes support for Windows XP users until April 2015. After April 8, 2014, Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP. Microsoft warned about this issue in a blog post they published in August: attackers will reverse engineer those updates, find the vulnerabilities and test Windows XP to see if it shares those vulnerabilities. Chrome on XP will still be automatically updated with the latest security fixes to protect against malware and phishing attacks. Google is powerless to fix and patch vulnerabilities in Windows XP itself.”]
