Then you've had years to figure out a solution to this. It's not like there haven't been 3 OS releases since then (Vista came out 7 years ago). Microsoft has offered extended (paid) support for their end of life products in the past, so this is nothing new.

- keithpeter 13y agoAgreed it is nothing new, and agreed the situation should have been managed better. Never the less, here we are, and the need to pay £200,000,000 to Microsoft for updates that they have to provide for XP embedded anyway is going to have a negative effect shall we say. As the OA was explaining, this is all about perceptions.
