Fast Cash

Windows XP has been the standard business computer operating system in this country for 10 years. Come April, though, Microsoft is walking away from supporting it. My office is painfully aware of this fact because we just upgraded to Windows 7 and had to buy new computers in the process as the old ones weren't sufficiently powerful to effectively run 7. Guess what else runs on XP? Answer: 95% of all ATM machines. Will there be another national banking crisis? Will the government have to bail out banks (again)? Will our financial system collapse? More importantly, will I be able to get $20 cash to pay for my haircut? Stay tuned.
