Hi Pondus,
And how would you make that obsolete Rip van Winkle browser secure? With a mitigation tool to bring in DEP and all the other new security features that had to be brought in to IE8 etc? They better start acting now else they have considerably more money to ask the tax payers when the migration operation really becomes inevitable. Well you still have people there learning Fortran, because some critical consumer software runs on a 1975 version software, and not much different where cash consoles with embedded XP is running all over the world, all hopelessly insecure. But we won't tell you else you will think we are incompetent, just greedy and we use security through obscurity.
We are discussing latest patches here against the latest vulnerabilities in Windows while the real world of government and big corporations is being "held together with rubber bands" more or less. First we have to have plenty of revenues from the old infra-structures and then we start to introduce something new, but please let us not hurry...says the tycoon,
