« on: May 21, 2017, 06:37 AM »I thought there were certain entities in possibly the commercial arena that were still able to receive updates for XP, if they had some sort of special code in the registry. I am not sure about medical facilities, but I thought that some financial institutions had XP still in some ATM systems and that Microsoft was still giving them a kind of minimum support.

I suppose this was so low on the totem pole here that it was unseen in the mud, but I had some time today and remembered that I had asked here about this and was sure I had heard or read that something was still in a sort of support mode for XP and went looking and to my surprise I found something that was posted just a few days ago.

So I guess that it is true that somebody can get certain updates for XP. So couldn't that special anti-NSAbug update have been sent to those with XP that still were getting updates?
EDIT: Okay, I seem to have screwed up. Sorry about that. I see some folks above are writing that you can pay Macrohard to provide support for your XP. I guess this business about just stick in a registry something-something is baloney, right?
