speak for yourself. I still use XP.

Unfortunately I do too. I work in a lotto office. The lotto machines are over 20 years old and run XP Embedded. Thankfully the computers where we do most of the actual work have modern CPUs and NVMEs running a modern OS.

it's a physical device. running on an old AMD Athlon X2 64 939.

I use it to play old retro games on. it is connected to the internet but browsers don't really work on it anymore. Usually I find the old web root or ftp sites on my main and download them directly in xp.

edit: I forgot about the XP desktop I made my kid too. not connected to the internet, but is connected to the lan. it's in storage right now, which is why I forgot about it.

hospital, not unlikely
