I seem to remember that there was a hostile cyber attack on NHS systems a few years ago. Much as I love XP, unless they are paying MS for current security updates, I hope those machines aren't connected to the internet! Windows Embedded 2009 still runs on the self-service tills in my local Marks and Spencer shop BTW, saw one booting up only yesterday, but didn't get a picture sadly.

Looks like the NHS is still very much based on Windows XP. This was spotted at St George's Hospital in London: p.s not my CT Scan, it's the one of an old woman I think

Thanks all for the great input - much appreciated! I am having a good experience with VLC, very happy to find out they are still supporting XP as well! After opening VLC, by clicking Media > Open Network Stream, it is possible to put in a Youtube link. Playback is very smooth Edit: I am able to run 720p on the Celeron without any big frame drops, within a VM environment. Audio and video both work and jumping to different parts in the video goes quick as well

Windows 2000 is pretty useable to me. It can be hit and miss running modern software but no more than XP and sometimes even vista. BWC’s extended kernel brings you more or less to XP/Vista level and maybe even 7 a little. The things currently lacking are Anti-Virus after Avast dropped updates for versions that run and I’ve not had much look for versions 10 and up. Spotify runs sort of but the newer kernels make it a little unhappy. Roytams browsers run well. Office 2007 works no issue but later versions don’t work I think due to 2000 not having the activation services built into the system. Overall I choose to use 2000 over anything newer where possible. It’s stable, fast and does anything pretty much modern os’s do. I have a Virtualbox VM for running Windows on a mac when I don’t want to boot into bootcamp and have multiple laptops that run it nice and happy - Dell D630, Clevo W76(I think) etc. I started using 2000 as it was the closest visual representation of 98SE/ME that could run modern apps and work with newer hardware.

With all due respect, probably because the older software still performs perfectly and is licensed for life, while an upgrade would require a new and expensive license just for show purposes, since it adds nothing really needed. Do you think people are made of money? Moreover, you yourself told he's gotten his clinic renovated... for normal human beings, there's only so much money (more so in times of covid-19, on top of it)!
