: Will Healthcare Get a Double Whammy by Staying on Windows XP?
jwindmiller:

Most folks that stay apprised with technology are aware that Windows XP goes to end of life in April 2014. However, in healthcare it appears that vendors and some support entities have buried their head in the sand about this looming date. Only time will tell ,but there is a good potential…
My wife — a pretty tech savvy RN with a couple of MBAs under her belt — works for one of the largest care providers in the Northeast USA. And there, her staff spends countless hours struggling with the hairball products still pushed by Microsoft, and loathed by sysadmins everywhere. Hopefully, a better (cheaper) answer’s on the horizon with the advent of the ACA and the departure of Steve Ballmer.
