The best preparation for the coming XPocalyps doom is to leave that OS completely as being obsolete. I remember from the days of Win98 that a Turkish developer came up with an additional unofficial service pack. There were also specific OS tweaking programs to harden that OS, but finally users had to move away. But there are parts of the world and on the Interwebs where XP will have a long death-struggle. I guess the last gasps will be heard coming out of mainland China.
April is the last patching round. XP will soon lack modern security measures. This OS cannot be trusted any longer. It is an old build from 2001 and has been completely overhauled again around 2004. The next backdoor will soon be left open for ever ;D.
Which parts of the World will be hardest hit from “XPocalyps now”? Do not switch to 7 go to Win8.1 at once whenever you can afford it. 8)

And we cannot wait for AndroidApocalyps next, can we? :smiley:
