That was a tough question?

No, I just think you were stupid enough to think there wasn't an answer.

No, I've already answered the question. Stick with what you know. You equate XP to an old jalopy, my experience tells me it works. Personal experience versus Google, experience wins out. Google's a safe bet though when the experience comes up lacking.

You appear to be getting somewhat confused.

I did not equate Windows XP to your old jalopy. You did. I replied:

The fact that you equate your clueless actions with some dilapidated jalopy shows just how uninformed you are about the risks.

Nor did I say Windows XP "doesn't work".

I said it's massively insecure and getting worse every month.

It seems you are a bit feeble minded.

Getting worse every month and my jalopy gets older, yet they're still reliable. Funny how that works. Tell me, how much are you laying out per month on anti virus protection for your PC? We've kept our computer expenditures to almost zero dollars. Can you give me a personal experience in.working with XP that counters mine? If you have one I would like to hear it. Citing ad driven web pages don't cut it though.

Antivirus protection is next to useless in your case.

Your crappy old PC is probably already riddled with malware and you don't even know it.

that's factually not true and you know it, or maybe you don't since you are so easily brainwashed by every "authority" mouth pieces

god, stick to being a slave to your arab masters, call center boy

Buttplug, your knowledge of computers is about as good as your English and grammar: That of a nine year old.

Stick to your ladyboy thread son, you're an expert on that one.

Look up MS17-010 you utter cock.

stop being a mindless drone by posting security bulletin you have no understanding of, that one was fixed with a simple regedit key for disabling SMB1, in your case you would have probably download a 200MB setup file to run that fix, you ignorant fool

you should know most are lab cases or Proof of Concept that never make it to the real world, that's how the whole industry works

eat that you silly Indian slave,

That has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Maybe you should get a cart and buggy and revert to outdoor plumbing as well.

WIN10 upgrade:

10 upgrades for me a rock solid. But then again I am not technologically challenged like most of you Luddites posting in this thread.

Your quote is misleading to say the least.

According to new research from Spiceworks, using data collected anonymously from ‘hundreds of thousands of IT pros’ across the world, over half of all businesses out there – 52% of them – are still running at least one instance of Windows XP. In other words, XP isn’t being run company-wide in these cases, and there may be only one machine in the corner using the long-outdated operating system – but clearly at this point, that’s still one PC too many which represents a big security risk for the overall network.

While these numbers are interesting, they don't necessarily tell the whole story, the release noted. When it comes to the overall share of the different operating systems, the percentage of each OS relative to the total number of machines it is running on breaks down like this:

• Windows 7 - 69%
• Windows XP - 14%
• Windows 10 - 9%
• Windows 8 - 5%
• Windows Vista - 1%

I work in the tech industry and I can assure you that no credible IT department would be found dead with XP running on anything. If you are ok with knowing that your company is at risk than have at it.

Yes, your link proves me wrong. The research we did about whether to switch or not at the start of 2017, yielded what I posted. Business decisions are seldom singularly focused. Simply upgrading to a new system based on it's the best available may be a good IT decision, doesn't mean it's the best overall for your business.

In some cases that is true but many IT departments choose to hold back one generation until they are comfortable that the new OS is stable hence the reason that W7 is run on the overwhelming majority of workstations at US businesses. You can take it to the bank that those IT departments have a plan laid out to upgrade to 10.

I do not see how running a vulnerable outdated operating system can be in anyway justifiable for any business owner. I do not know what type of business you do over the web but if you are doing any sort of eCommerce online with that OS then you are playing Russian roulette. It's your money though pal not mine.

It works well and as I said earlier, the risk is minimized. The business is not reliant on office tech to the point we need a modern smart office. I'm still waiting to hear your personal experiences showing why XP is bad for biz.

It is pretty obvious. It is an open door to hackers, malware/ransomware on and on. It is not upgraded nor security patched. The cost of upgrading to at least W7 is most likely a nominal one at best. It really is a no brainer.

We'll see. If you're in sales or any position that requires persuasion, you should change jobs. You spent two days repeating your point using various tactics and they've all fallen flat.

I think you might find you are wrong on that one. What you have offered up is quite weak indeed.

What a load of utter crap. Where do you get this shit?
