    But those aren’t affected usually. For them it’s about stability because their certification processes are a lot of work and they won’t risk any interruptions unless absolutely necessary. So they actually pay a lot of money for support beyond the normal EOL.

      the organizations I know personally, don’t have those kinds of resources. They use XP because they rely on software that hasnt been ported to the new enviroments since forever, and it doesn’t work on the new versions of windows. (or works poorly). plenty of places have old propriety licenses that they’ve never upgraded to new versions of software because it still works for their needs.

      CNC machining, doctor’s offices. Tax lawyers. bakery shops running acocunting software. farmers. You’ll find it in lots of industries.
