Microsoft, XP and Large Public Service Networks
In the UK I'm seriously concerned about Microsoft pulling support for XP from next year. Our National Health Service and many other large public services, probably including our Tax and Revenue Service and our Department of Social Security and our Department of Work and Pensions depend on XP for their database support, even the Military for all I know. So are MS holding us to ransom? Updating these systems will cost £100 billions and will take years to implement.
These are difficult economic times world-wide, does corporate profit override national security and well-being?
