Patrick Thomas, a security consultant with Neohapsis, explains what it essentially means to millions still using the system.
如果你家里的電腦使用的是微軟XP系統(tǒng)，那明天開始你的電腦就沒(méi)有技術(shù)支持了。原因是，在這個(gè)受歡迎的操作系統(tǒng)發(fā)布12年之后，微軟宣布將停止XP系統(tǒng)服務(wù)。Neohapsis公司的安全顧問(wèn)帕特里克·托馬斯解釋了這對(duì)數(shù)百萬(wàn)仍在使用這個(gè)系統(tǒng)的用戶所產(chǎn)生的影響。
"Computers will continue _3_ as they have before April 8th except that at that point users' security is essentially entirely in their own hands because Microsoft provider is no longer stepping in to release updates, to release patches."

One reason many individuals and businesses _4_ to move on from XP is it's relatively stable, thus made it roughly 30% of companies,computers being used by businesses and consumers around the world are still running on XP.

Consumers boosted their _5_ again in February, though much of the rise was due to an increase in non-revolving credits, things like education and auto loans rather than for revolving credit which covers store and credit card debts.
二月份的消費(fèi)者貸款數(shù)額再次上漲，不過(guò)數(shù)額增長(zhǎng)的大部分原因是非循環(huán)信貸增長(zhǎng)，比如教育和汽車貸款，而不是商店貸款和信用卡債務(wù)這樣的循環(huán)信貸所帶來(lái)的增長(zhǎng)。
