win32 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 This is Windows XP at the U.S, Customs and Border Protection checkpoint at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, as shown on a new episode of the TV series Border Security: America's Front Line. The episode did premiere this month, though there's been a 2 1/2 year gap between seasons, so this was likely filmed in 2017 or 2018. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc333 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I wonder if MS will extend the support period? It seems there's still a relatively significant minority of users out there, based on these findings.... c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win32 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I doubt it. According to statcounter, XP's market share was 1.75% in March; Windows 98SE's share was 2.7% in July 2006 when it ended support. Nonetheless. there is still the possibility that later today (4/1) M$ may make the decision to extend XP support forever...

Really? That is great news--and it sounds pretty definite! I'll contact the relevant media outlets, etc., to make sure everybody knows. I can hardly wait for tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. 1.75% market share is about "connected" devices that are *somehow* used to browse the internet and that can be identified/counted by the *whatever* mechanism is used by the people creating those market share reports, it simply doesn't take into account anything that is either "airgapped" or only connected to an internal network. What we are seeing here lately are "specialized systems", ATM, POS, Signage, etc. that it is very unlikely that can reach the iternet and be counted in the stats. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NojusK Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 From my School's facebook page. XP has been spotted at my city's "Rigveda" Learning Center. Looks like Firefox on XP to me! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) OK, not XP, but POSReady 2009 still going strong in my local Marks and Spencer store today, obviously oblivious to its imminent demise! Edited April 4, 2019 by Dave-H 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win32 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) As the OP says, all things NT 5.1 or 5.2 go here! Is Windows 2000 eligible, or will posting a sighting here get me banned? And the boot screen for POSReady 2009 says "Windows XP" anyway. Edited April 4, 2019 by win32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, you would probably get 7 points (3 as for a real XP or 2003 +1 bonus one for it being 2000 and not XP + 3 bonus points for the courage involved in posting a non-XP) if you post a 2000 sighting. Or you may be banned. You have to risk to (maybe) get the 4 extra points. Remember your own machines (or a friends') do not count. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broken120x120 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I saw some dentistry commercial on television a few weeks ago that had a computer in the background that was running XP. There was also a cash register computer running Windows XP Pro. at a thrift store that I saw a few months ago. Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture because there were a few people working behind the desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcinwwl Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 You know who made windows XP? Obviously, Starring at a TV in a right moment is not that bad, if you know the right moment 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcinwwl Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Poor quality photo this time, but at least original content - XP booting in Warsaw suburban train Not sure if pure one or embedded. Photo from today's morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo from today's morning. The skin is dark blue, so it's probably embedded. Unfortunately, I don't have equally good news. When I was at the reception of the building in which my office is located, I noticed that the POS connected to the computer was different. As I got closer, I noticed that the interface was completely different. While I was getting my keys and signing a document, I saw the screensaver popping up on the POS... "Blimey!" I thought, "it's Linux!". So I pretended to look at my phone and I took a picture. This is a sign that companies are moving over from XP: Apparently, old programmes are not compatible with the new Windows 10 Embedded for IoT and since programmers had to rewrite their code anyway, they just switched to Linux to avoid paying the licence and other things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, at least, is good news! May Win 10 rot in Niflheim! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
