As per the link mentioned in article, due to support ends of Windows XP, ATMs can be hit, but I think there should be emergency measures, surely Windows 8 is better and most secure windows, with dual OS, now it is offering free update to 8.1 which is over 3 gb download only through WIndows store. Perhaps for some days manual transactions is need of hour. As per link posted by #usha manohar most banks are now performing core banking and it seems manual withdrawal of money is going to be difficult, Microsoft is offering Chinese banks options for giving Windows XP support in enterprise editions for five more years, and I have no idea about India banks.

Oh, Microsoft is giving Chinese banks the options of giving XP support in its enterprise editions for 5 more years??? I didn't read that anywhere yet. That would be an advantage to them. India is a close partner of the US in terms of software and they could have offered India that sort of offer.

I read it in Microsoft's Google plus updates and they are giving them as if not then they threatened them to shift to Chineese custom made Linux or even some Chineese hacker group prepares their own updates of XP backed by govt, and for this Microsoft with a certain sum apparently agree to this, but all these are not confirmed but seems to be correct as it appears on MS google plus updates.

If this is true then I am not surprised, Chinese have the ability to bring the world to its knees! I am sure that China might be the biggest customer of the Microsoft and so they would agree to extend support for further 5 years! Since they have probably the biggest team of hackers who has already shown the world what they can do, Microsoft has to agree to their terms. On the other hand, India in spite of having the most intelligent techie people can hardly do anything to make others agree to our terms! Three cheers to China! :woohoo: :cheer:

When I asked about this in my bank ( ICICI) , they said that they were not expecting any major problems either on the 8th or any day for that matter since most banks have the required support system...

The banks would surely take all the care they have to because they cannot afford to stay inactive where security is a big concern, especially when there are already so many phishing attacks and accounts being easily hacked.

Exactly ! Since they have been forewarned I am sure they have taken the necessary measures by now, so there may not be any great inconvenience...

Is is only for 8th april ? We can use atm cards after 8th april ?

Thelink says:

Banking operations, including ATM services, may be hit as support from Microsoft for Windows XP operating system will end from April 8,

So the problem is not for one day only This will begin on 8th April. But the banks may solve the issue some way. RBI may devise a software for ATMs and dependance on Microsoft may be brought to an end.
