For those of you getting up the gumption to revisit the usage of XP in your \
facilities here is another resource.

The reality for most of us is...

" organizations have such complex IT environments that they must carefully test any \
new patch to make sure it won't break anything else. "

Please everyone use this as an educational process.

I see a lot of articles saying "fire your IT" ... well IT is at the beck and call of \
the business, so it's time IT has a meeting with Management over this.

In 2017 we should not be caring about patching XP.  I understand business needs.  But \
understand this:  There are potentially more XP era zero days in some Government's \
back pocket ready to be used.

After the dust settles on this take time to review your assets, because if you are \
still running XP and 2003 for your business needs, they are probably no longer your \
assets.
