Tks Torreydale. Understand the dates windows. My question is about the practical implications for a non techie, what can a user get away with. Are we to assume that "attacks" are continually being made on Ubuntu "systems" and hence updates are necessary for protection.
XP users are vulnerable. By the virtue of their "machines" they are using older hardware. What is the critical point for those machines' use in the future - Hardware failure (Valhalla) or not being able to find a non-vulnerable Linux OS that has the necessary drivers for their hardware..
Afterthought - Or when 32 bit is not longer available?
