It an out of band update for Vanilla XP and 2003 server  must be such a serious undisclosed vulnerability they had to patch it.  like wannacry

I installed it. Restart fine without errors at the moment.

So this new XP update.  There are two flavors -

Security Update for Windows XP SP3 (KB4500331) - Windows XP
and
2019-05 Security Update for WES09 and POSReady 2009 for x86-based Systems (KB4500331) - Windows XP Embedded

Which one am I now?  Through Nov 2014 I was XP.  Since then I've been a cash register.

What's your guidance?

Both updates include the exact same updated file (2003-based OSes get two files updated). So it doesn't matter which one is applied (unless POS XP blocks regular XP updates)

I suspect they're the same thing, I downloaded the two files, and they are only 4 bytes different in size!

If you would've told a costumer from 2001 that their purchase of Windows XP would get updates until 2019 they would not believe you!

Yet, here we are with a new patch out of the regular POSReady 2009 support window

I think it's a testament to what a great OS XP is. They're pushing updates, because people are still using it. An operating system from 2001 still has a market share of roughly 1.6%, is that not crazy?
