Tomorrow's the day!

A story on CBS radio news yesterday was that the State of CT has 40% of its government computer systems are running XP (and cannot change) and is currently negotiating with Microsoft for continued support for Windows XP at a considerable sum of money. Many businesses still use XP because of industry specific and custom written software that are required for the industry and cannot just make a change. I suspect that a number will follow CT and start paying Microsoft (who seems happy to talk where cash is involved) for XP support.
