How to keep Win XP updated

IMHO I would be very happy to pay a nominal yearly fee to keep XP updated.
Wonder how many others would like that option?

There's no guarantee that these updates will actually work to patch WIN XP vulnerabilities as they are designed for WIN XP embedded and server applications. Could just end up having a placebo effect? Plus, you don't think MS could kill this in an update that determines you're not running an embedded or server version of WIN XP?

A counterpoint is just how long should a company provide free update support for an OS?

I'm not sure, but I know my Linux gets updates most every day for vulnerabilities and improvements and hadn't failed me in the many years I have been runnng it and all for free.

my 1946 willys is similar to my 2003 wrangler but that doesn't mean the parts from one will fit the other. 1492 is spot on.

Thanks CHRIS - Just might give that a try on one of my M90 Work Stations I have here that is only running on a dedicated COMMUNICATIONS link for NAVy MARS... It does require to be on the Internet.

Thanks for the info...
