Windows XP was the Real Thing when they started building ?

[RoosterRedux]

XP is a stable platform and I imagine they have adapted it to their needs.

The UK doesn't need MS updates if they can provide them on their own.

The U.S. still uses floppy disks...can the U.K. be any worse.

[Mariner]

All operating systems on all weapons platforms everywhere is old and outdated.

It takes at least 10 years to get everything integrated and working.

Is Windows XP immune to ransomware?

[Rebelbase]

I’d have thought the Brits would be using a Commodore 64 system.

[upchuck]

I expect that if any Win XP machine on this ship gets hacked, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon is gonna be in a world of hurt.

[2001convSVT]

I wonder if they are still using DOS and Basic on some of their systems still.

95% of ATM’s were running XP a couple of years ago. Not sure how many have upgraded since then.
