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.

Wish I could send this to all who objected to me on XP security. *Even Windows 10* wants extra money for security. https://www.ft.com/content/e2786cbe-3a97-11e7-821a-6027b8a20f23 …pic.twitter.com/wpcKnbQSoS
