- chris_wot 13y agoYeah, that's pretty much the current situation anyway with a lot of folks.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoWould be interesting to know. Based on anecdotal reports, I would guess that we are now today in a situation in which more people than ever are running an unpatched, Internet-connected computer - I'm hypothesising that XP is by far the most 'un-upgraded' OS we've had since mass adoption of the Internet.
- nyrina 13y agoFor someone that doesn't know what google is, and are barely able to click on that Internet Explorer icon - much less use it once it does open, my mother is far from what I'm worried about. My sister, clicking everything that looks flashy, though... Her, I'm worried about.
