I really hope that you also have available replacement hardware if anything on this machine crashes or burn.Īctually, we don’t except one P4 machine destined for cannibalisation. The risk of “contracting something nasty” due to XP obsoleteness is about 0.001% of risk that some user will install ransomware on his/her machine (despite the measures taken to mitigate this).

And a clear policy of “do not plug/insert anything into the damn thing!”. We are a small company this LAN has ~15 machines connected.Įven better would be no network access. There are ~6 another machines with XP on this network. Which does not make it less irresponsible, unless you put the said machine on a dedicated network
