Prepare to suffer the consequences of stupid decisions.”
Well, I still run XP on one of our computers because several software programs I have been using for years won’t run on anything else and I don’t happen to want to change. That computer, however, has not, is not nor will it ever be hooked up to the Internet.
So I do not consider my decision to continue running XP under these conditions and circumstances a stupid decision. Works well for us. This suggestion, BTW, came from my son who happens to work in the techie industry.
For anyone else, continuing to run XP while connected to the Internet is in fact, a stupid decision.
