Yup. My private cloud server runs Windows 2000.
It’s like a broken record with the “I’m proud to never upgrade people.
No, Microsoft is not obligated to support an 14 year old OS because a group of people have skirted by for years on old software.
No, you aren’t saving money by running old software for you business on them. At some point you will have to buy a new machine, or lack workers that will be able to work efficiently on a machine that still has a floppy drive. Unless you are some hole in the wall shop or are too broke to ever upgrade, you are setting yourself up for major pain.
And no, XP doesn’t represent the pinnacle of OS development just because you like the way it finds files on your PC. At some point XP was new and was the replacement for OSs that people swore were perfect too.
Do people seriously think that the big companies should do nothing with their product just to spare a dwindling number of people the horror of having to upgrade an OS that is itself an upgrade?
