Department of Health in talks to extend Windows XP support.
A deal is being negotiated between Whitehall and Microsoft to try and stop thousands of NHS computers becoming vulnerable to hackers following the April 8 cut off date for support.
The Department of Health told The Register that it is currently in talks to develop a plan which would see its PCs migrating off from Windows XP.
The NHS in England runs Windows XP on just over one million computers, with NHS Scotland having just 3,603 PCs running the expiring operating system.
