I know of people who still have XP on their systems... It's scary.
A branch office was trying to keep an XP based laptop. I walked in and took it the other day. Nope, sorry fuckers not allowed.

Russian roulette, no more, no less. The question is not if they will get a virus/scareware/ransomware/whatever, the question is just "when".

Here is the system syncing up.

I think @aaronstuder posted a utility program that blocks windows 10 updates. Anyone using that or something similar to stop this madness?
Stopping Windows 10 is the same problem we had with people sitting on XP for fucking ever. Move on people.
I want to move on but Microsoft is strangling people with piano wire trying to get them to adopt it. I need to make sure everything my new company uses is compatible and if it isn't then I need to replace stuff.

You have had 11 months since full release to do this. All on you.

I start the 30th so it's really not. I'm talking about my new job.

If they are on a domain with WSUS, then they would never have seen it anyway.

They have 4 PC's that have been upgraded. I don't think purposely but I can't say for sure. I'll learn a lot more on the 30th when I start. Another part of this is they are using really shitty workstations. They just buy them as needed when they break and have no contract with a vendor for refreshes.

So we finally got an answer from Earthlink... they will get it back on "sometime" today. Great answer.

Phones are up, customer systems are online, and I get to leave at 1. Weekend is back on track. -

@IRJ Usually you never meet the seller, it's why you hire a realtor and attorney.

I've heard it's about 50/50 if the seller decides to meet you or not at the closing.
