Please join me in a moment of silence to commemorate the passing today of Windows XP. Alas, poor XP, I knew him well. An OS of infinite capability, of most excellent stability; he hath booted in front of me a thousand times...

It still works, although there are no security updates. The risk is not too bad if the systems are on a closed network - not on the open internet.

A problem can be that there is so much instrumentation/equipment that runs on older software. If you figure roughly 80 systems that cost an average $60,000 new and with a replacement cost today of $40,000 each it all adds up.

It's not very popular, but not quite as much of a dud as Vista.
