Microsoft has announced that it will no longer be supporting XP or Office 2003 starting on April 8th, 2014.
XP has been actively supported the past 11 years with system and security updates. According to Net Applications, a metrics company that tracks the percentage of users on each operating system, the XP install base is still at 37% globally.
Some people are taking Microsofts advice to upgrade their OS. The global percentage of computers using XP dropped from the 40% it was at previously, but 37% is still a significant number.
Come April 8th you can expect XP machines to no longer automatically update and security updates to no longer be issued. Many believe this will be the starting gun for hacker groups to find security holes. Without updates these possible security holes will remain open and the operating system exposed.
Now's the time to think about upgrading if you were on the fence before. Upgrading your OS and running your GoTrusted Tunnel will ensure you remain safe while browsing online.

New GoTrusted Windows Version Released
It's been a busy week here at GoTrusted. Following the new servers that have opened in Hong Kong, we're releasing the new 2.3.5.0 version of GoTrusted for Windows.
Users will notice some obvious changes immediately. We've added a 'Menu' button to the status window to make navigation in the client easier. The settings menu has also been changed. The basic settings for region selection, and user login will be found in the first tab labeled 'General'. We've moved the less used troubleshooting settings to the separate advanced tab.
Behind the scenes we've ironed out a few bugs that were affecting a very small percentage of users under specific circumstances. We'll also be releasing the updated Mac version shortly.
If you have any questions or run into any problems using the GoTrusted VPN service remember to contact our support via the support page!
Thank you,
The GoTrusted Team

Major Update Coming for Windows 8
Some good news for our Windows 8 users. Microsoft released a statement earlier this week telling of a new update code named 'Blue' that they'll be releasing June 26th at the Build developers conference held in San Francisco.
They're has been plenty of feedback from users both critical and positive. Something Microsoft has readily acknowledged.
"We need to work to address a real learning curve with Windows 8," said Tami Reller, chief financial officer for Microsoft's Windows division. "That's a big challenge for us."
The update is rumored to address some of the issues that people have been raising most concern about. One of the biggest being a lack of a true 'Start' button that has been present in every Microsoft OS release since '95.
There can be a steep learning curve associated with Microsoft's new operating system and can seem daunting to new users. We have our share of support cases involving Windows 8 and that's why our support is there! Don't hesitate to send them an email if you run into any issues using GoTrusted on your Windows 8 devices.
