If that is the case, that someone should quickly work to remove the need for Windows XP, or if that is not possible to isolate it as much as possible. Of course you can use the Embedded until April 2019, but that should be more a temporary solution while looking for a permanent fix.NekoMaster wrote:Though like I was saying earlier, perhaps someone needs something based on Windows XP to keep their Windows XP programs and machines running.
Unfortunately, IT is often a closing post for companies, and upgrading some critical software is really expensive. But even with all the paid support you can get from Microsoft, still using XP is basically a disaster waiting to happen. But maybe I do grab a copy, for my work I have to work with software that does not work on the latest version of Windows (luckily support for that piece of software is also ending in a few years so clients also have to switch), and then running such an evaluation version in a VM really helps with not polluting the host OS.
