Beijing leans on Microsoft to maintain Windows XP support | |

The Chinese government has urged Microsoft to extend support for Windows XP in order to boost Beijings anti-piracy efforts and head off a potentially huge security threat. Yan Xiaohong, deputy director of Chinas National Copyright Administration, met Microsoft and other software companies in a bid to put some pressure on, according to Techweb. He apparently claimed that ending support for Windows XP would create serious security risks for many machines in the PRC, with opportunistic cyber criminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities in the software once security updates end on April 8th 2014. | ||
