Re: HEISC survey on Windows XP EOL plans

[Mike Osterman <ostermmg () WHITMAN EDU>]

All,

We're about to close this survey and summarize this data, but wanted to send out one final reminder. I plan to close 
the survey end-of-day on Thursday, 2/27/2014. Also, there is a slightly modified version that attempts to get at 
mitigation strategies, which is likely of interest to all of us as April 8 draws near:

https://docs.google.com/a/whitman.edu/forms/d/1zPOJRV09QurupHcABN3LSOO7knsi9RfQM62jwR50tZI/viewform

If you filled out the first version, there is no need to fill out the new one.

Thank you for your assistance!
