Unfortunately, many manufacturing processes and Point of Sale devices run a version of Win XP, so things such as this are a constant worry for them.
I keep urging customers and friends to switch from the ‘doze platform over to Linux, but people can be such stick-in-the-mud types over such minor things! *sigh*
I still run XP because many of my development tools will not run an the newer bloatware. The XP machine does hide behind a Linux firewall. This has proven to be fairly robust.
A year ago when I went to Zambia, I did six internal flights and their handbag xray machines were all very wonky to say the least. At one place (Mfuwe) we were held up for an hour while they tried and tried to get the PC connected to the xray machine to work. I noticed them fumbling through a Windows 3.1 manual while they were fiddling with the thing.
I finally broke my use of windows at home. Next time my work PC gets upgraded, I am switching to Ubuntu.
