Some places are still running XP too. I guess they'll upgrade to 7 now

Saw an ATM have a Windows XP-era BSOD not too long ago.

Y'all run unsupported versions of Windows if you want to

Support for XP ended YEARS ago, and folks still run it?

Yeah this was a huge issue because alot of atms thought the country also ran xp.

Nah, a lot of businesses aren't using xps by choice.

A lot of legacy machinery and equipment still have support software that is only available in XP.

This is going to take up a good portion of my winter....hundreds of 7 boxes running old hardware that only works in 7. Hell, even some of the companies who built these apps went out of business.

This what happens when companies go cheap and kick the can down the road for machine lifecycles...

Most recent 7 update was Dec 10, 2019. As long an OS is under support, must be updated

Man my pops still had that shyt up until a while ago. He asked me for some help with his PC, and I told him to fire it up. Man, I damn near lost it when I heard that piano when it started up . I was like "Pop, this is part of your troubles right here ." He was like "I ain't touch this bytch in a couple of years ." The old man cracks me up

No wonder I've seen so many updated laptops around the office


And I'm still stuck with Win 7

EDIT: I'm assuming my company is paying for extensions

 

[krazykid18]

damn i am going to upgrade it 2nite, bye windows 7

They can do whatever they want but when that application causes OS issues, they cannot come to Microsoft for support unless they are willing to pay about 250,000 for extended support (cost differs based on number of machines and time period).

So their only option is to go to the vendor of said application for support... and if they haven't updated their application since XP, i doubt they even still exist.

The applications that you are talking about are usually internal

What?
embroidery software or CNC equipment, POS systems, inventory software that were written in the 80's.
