Check THIS ^^^^

The MSE app is now unavailable for XP, and a quick segue into trying to sell us a new PC.

But guess which Windoze it would have ?

The version which made so many of us keep our XP computers going !

BTW, I have MSE on my XP unit, and so far, so good (yes, I saw the asterisk'd fine print).

And has been since about a year ago. I run MSE 4.4.304 on XP machines. The definitions are still being updated.

Yes, I believe that is the version which I run there too, and possibly also on my Vista tower.

The fine print in my screen shot says def updates to stop this coming July 14th, tho.

Perhaps. I wonder if automatic updates will cease but manually installed updates will still work.

MSE (online) and WDO share the same defs.

Yes, I had discovered that commonality recently.

So unless they put a poison pill into future manual updates....
