Upgrade...or else

This article is actually dated before the discovery of the iFrame exploit, which makes it rather ironic. Microsoft's position has been that if you want the latest security patches, you have to upgrade to WinXP. So, all those WinME, Win2k (any Win98 and NNT users out there?) are out of luck.

The other side of the coin is you have to have fairly new hardware to run WinXP, which is my main problem. I don't have the extra cash to buy a new laptop. I'm guessing a lot of other folks don't either.
