The day has finally come...support for Windows XP and Office 2003 will end today, April 8, 2014. We recommend you replace your old machines to benefit from dramatically enhanced security, broad device choice for a mobile workforce, higher user productivity, and a lower total cost of ownership through improved management capabilities.

What this means for you: You will no longer receive security updates or program updates for Windows XP. You will still be able to use the operating system, but you will no longer be able to update your machines or get technical support.

Common Concerns: If you continue to use the older machines your computers could be subject to malicious attacks and reduced data security.

What you can do: Contact TNB for quotes for some newer machines and to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, and take advantage of the trade in offer!
