MS is still pushing monthly updates to XP users, purportedly to scan for malware. How hard would it be for them to push a patch with a fix for this?

- dspillett 12y agoAs far as I know they haven't explicitly said they won't. The "affected systems" lists on the recent advisories currently only go back as far as 2003/Vista, but IE6 is listed in some of them so if they are going that far back with IE (6 dropped out of extended support at the same time as XPsp3) there is a chance there is a patch coming for XP too. Of course they are under no obligation to. And some might argue that giving people updates so they can continue to use IE6 is as bad as giving an alcoholic a double G&T to help keep withdrawal symptoms at bay...
