Note: Google is dropping support for Windows: XP & Vista and Mac OSx 10.6.8 in April 2016.

Users can still use their computers but will not be able to upgrade their Goggle Chrome Versions. That should NOT effect this class ... HOWEVER ... when a company drops support - you as the customer will not be secure anymore, unless your anti-virus software will still support you. However ... as time passes other software packages will drop support. So it will be time to budget/save for a new computer system.
