If you prefer mobile operating systems as a replacement to your machine, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry OS are all viable options, but you’ll naturally have to buy a new device."
I really appreciated this comment and the following part about IE8 and Chrome. Well done MS.

#10Today On April 8 2014, the decade long support from Microsoft for Windows XP will be terminated. This means no more security updates, patches, or technical support for the popular OS, which is still running on 30% of all computers.

Research by EHI intelligence revels that 85% of England’s healthcare system IT systems were still using Windows XP.
