XP is Dead? The rumors of my demise...


Windows XP is Dead Long Live Windows 8/8.1! (er 7)?

Windows XP officially "died" on April 8th yet the worldwide market share is still over 18% of the installed computers.  This is due to the fact that most people aren't really aware of what Operating System they are using.  Most home users confuse Windows, and Office versions not really knowing one from the other.  (No wonder the hackers have it easy).

 The latest stats show that Windows 7 is the most widely used Operating system and the MacOSX still lags at less than 9%.  IOS devices are at 9%. This is for the traditional market of desktops, laptops, and tablets.

This proves that many are opting for Windows 7 and not giving Windows 8/8.1 a real chance.  I use both and I have to say that for mobile/laptop devices you can't beat 8.1.  Its touch capabilities are phenomenal and it has many great tools that make it easy to use and integrate into a network environment.

The questions we ask as a consulting firm is what do you use your "device" for?  Depending on the answer we will recommend different solutions.

Free Software Costs Us All!.... (or what to do if the person next to you says, here use my account/key/login) I am always amazed when I run across someone running pirated software.  After all it is 2019 and there are a variety of ways to get similar products for free, or via a subscription for a small fee.  (Some argue that it is not that small).  Office Online and Google Docs give users similar functionality to the Office apps loaded on a Windows or Mac computer.   The issue is that people are not used to the dynamic of saving to the cloud and sharing from there in a safe manner.  Therefore desktop applications are still necessary and have a lot more functionality than the online versions.  This is why people still want them on their computers.  However there are still a few that think they shouldn't have to pay for that ability.  I have seen vendors that think Outlook should be free to connect to their POP or IMAP source so they provide it, but neglect to tell the client
