        I run a CNC machine which requires XP for the control program. The only other option was DOS. We installed it via floppy

          i have several clients with xp, or even older, in similar roles. i keep a couple old desktops (slot 1 celeron, anyone?) at the office just in case they need a replacement.

    I have one old Panasonic Toughbook that still runs XP. It’s a control system for a specific scientific instrument. Damn thing just keeps chugging along. Fortunately, I physically removed the wifi chip lest anyone get any ideas.
