Years of listening to why ppl don't update/patch. Almost nobody tells them the security side and updates bundled with unwanted stuff. Fail.

Folks, possible that WCry method will be tried again soon without any kills-switch. Patch or do this. Ask your IT.https://twitter.com/patrickcoomans/status/863309342468165632 …

Tech folk keep saying Win XP is ancient. It's not. Software can't run infrastructure w/ expectation to junk it in a decade. Time to adjust.

XP was a consumer os. You shouldn't be running critical infrastructure on consumer OS's. (they don't have decades long support)
