The Tiles in the Start menu are also awesome to use. I believe Windows 10 is a great OS with better performance than Windows 8.1. Pokdepinion: It is high time to upgrade to Windows 10 anyway. How many of you are using Chrome on an OS older than Vista anyway?

I don’t know how often you use it but for me it is a great feature as I can continue reading long articles that I couldn’t finish while I was in front of my laptop. The tabs you have opened on any of your PCs will be available on any device you have that are logged in to the same account. Either they update their hardware, or they get left behind.Chrome is one of the most popular browsers right now, second only to Microsoft Internet Explorer, but then everyone has to use IE to download Chrome, right? Jokes aside, Chrome is a great browser especially if you make use of the multi-device sync feature.

It’s a tough spot to be in, but come April, there won’t be much of a choice for those people who want their old computer to still have a secure version of Chrome. Google didn’t provide a version of its browser for older computers using PowerPC processors, which are stuck on OS 10.6.8, but other computers including the mid- and late-2006 editions of the iMac can’t upgrade to a supported operating system. This is also bad news for people who want to keep old Intel Macs limping along with new versions of Chrome. Microsoft ended support for XP last year, but some organizations (including the US Navy) haven’t completely made the jump. Microsoft’s operating system, while more than a decade old, is still clinging to life on computers in homes and organisations large and small. Google said earlier this year that it planned to stop supporting old operating systems, and called out XP in particular as a problem. “Such older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware,” Chrome director of engineering Mark Pawliger said in a blog post. Google said it was turning off the updates because the makers of all five OSs had stopped providing official support for them. That same deal goes for Mac users running OS 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. The company announced that PCs running XP and Vista will be able to keep using Chrome after April 2016, but Google will cease providing updates to its browser, including security-focused patches.

Windows XP will be getting even less secure next year, when Google stops updating Chrome for users of Microsoft’s nearly geriatric operating system.
