Nothing new really. The IRS and significant chunks of the UK government have the same basic deal to name but a few. Microsoft will charge them through the nose for the support and require that they show a plan to migrate off of XP onto some other supported OS in the next year. Plus people always forget about XP Embedded, which is still not EOL for about another year.

Still won't forget the time I was just walking past an ATM on my way somewhere else and saw a Windows desktop. Pretty much right in the middle of the desktop was a spreadsheet file. That spreadsheet file was a complete transaction log for that ATM. Not encrypted, not password protected in any way... If the banking software crashed and exposed the desktop, like in this case, anyone would have free and unrestricted access. Needless to say I never once considered ever using one of those ATM ever again. Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling about how good a job banks are doing protecting information that would be so valuable to crooks, doesn't it? They might spend thousands of dollars on the physical security, trying to keep people from getting at the cash reserves in the machine, but the sum total of the security on the software side is the overlay software they run.
