Why would you use Windows XP on an Internet connected PC?

Hardware firewalls provide some protection against the kinds of threats XP faces. More to answer your question; I'm running the latest available versions of Windows 10. I sometimes use FF 56 for its consistency in behavior, XPI addon support (NoScript and uBlock still function), customizable UI, and for critical tasks (banking (affected by the Cloudflare problem)). I use FF 90+ for daily driving, and I despise it.

Because machine is connected but didn't use internet.

It's for accounting purposes only - making invoices. Probably for one month it's used for hour or two max.

  • How is Cloudflare DDOS protection in your internal networks that them not supporting that version of XP is a problem?

    • For me - isn't problem. Because as i said machine isn't used for browsing.

      To be honest i have friend of mine that have small furniture manufacturing. They have CNC machine with Windows98.
