It’s amazing how easy it is to convince a mindless world that what you have that is working fine and running fine must be replaced by a defective wannabe and add salt to their wound with fear mongering of security issues. So I axed the freebie useless “lets hold hands together and jump off the cliff saying yes we can” Win10 trap. I have already spent hours chasing work arounds, hacks n jacks and then suddenly came to my senses that I have 6 other machines all running great and running all the programs (and then some) that I could want to run. Though the GWX insisted Win10 would run great, it does not run great.

I have one Win8.1Pro machine that I “let” Microsoft’s nag gag GWX install Win10 onto it. I have a WinVistaPro machine, runs great. If i really needed good security, i don’t even need freaking dumb-dows, and could use Linux. What does windows 7, 8 or 10 for that matter offer beyond the promise of ‘security’ – i mean Win 8 is a piece of garbage when it comes to ease of use and customizability. You can rant about security all you want, but bear in mind that we dedicated XP users are not as naive as you think. Just because i can afford to buy a newer machine, doesn’t mean i need to junk my older devices and contribute to more electronic trash.

I place blame squarely on manufacturers of the hardware for not providing updated and reliable drivers for linux – even if they are proprietary. And while linux could work, try getting optimized drivers for simple things like video and audio cards is a big challenge – especially for ATi/AMD video cards, some audio cards. We are using XP for a reason, and can do without the sermons.

And while security is a big deal, XP offers a lot more usability for those having legacy hardware and software – since a lot of those features were de supported from Vista onwards, Im sometimes able to use Win 7 to run some legacy hardware that still works fine, but its not intuitive and requires lot of manual effort, trial and error etc. Most Older computers released before 2009 run happily with XP, despite many of them limited to 4GB or less of RAM ( Thanks to motherboard or chipset limitations). The fact that “the software still does what it used to” is not quite enough on its own… because what it used to do, in respect of insecurity, might very well no longer be acceptable. You can continue to use XP if you really need to, as long as you are mindful of the risk to the rest of your network and to others nearby, and if you put some suitable precautions in place. daylight hours only, designated routes) to reduce the overall risk to everyone.

I know automotive analogies in IT are generally a bit risky, but some countries will allow you to operate historical vehicles without retro-fitting modern safety features for the driver (e.g.

The problem with that sort of approach to what’s now known as the Security Development Life Cycle is that a lot of those apps often also still do what they *weren’t* designed to do (e.g. Things look slightly better when you look at OS market share measured by a different company, Stats Counter, but there’s still an alarming number of PCs running XP.Īccording to Stat Counter, Windows XP represents 7.4% of all desktops in April 2016, down from 10.9% in April 2015.īut when you consider that Microsoft puts the number of Windows devices at more than 1 billion, we are still talking about tens of millions of computers today running a very old, very outdated, and very insecure operating system.

Net Applications’ stats show that just under 1% of all desktops are running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion), which are no longer receiving security updates from Apple.

Desktop OS market share, March 2016 (source: ).īy the way, there are some Mac OS X users who are using out-of-support versions, too, meaning they are also vulnerable to never-going-to-be-fixed security holes.

To put that in perspective, according to Net Applications’ figures, Windows XP is still the third-most popular desktop OS, trailing only Windows 7 (51.9%) and Windows 10 (14.2%).Īnd there are more PCs running XP than Windows 8.1 (9.6%), and all versions of Mac OS X combined (7.8%). Windows XP was still running on 10.9% of all desktops as of March 2016, according to stats compiled by Net Applications. And yet there are still millions of XP computers connecting to the internet, where all manner of malware is waiting to pounce.
