    A lot of public infrastructure in the US (powerplants, waste management, etc.) runs off XP or older.

      i have several clients with xp systems (or even older), still, mostly for CNC applications, bulk trailer and tanker loaders, and similar. i keep recommending upgrading the systems, they keep balking at the high prices from their vendors.

        I supported a production line as recently as 2015 that had an industrial paint mixer that still ran on NT4 Workstation

      Not as prevalent these days, but a lot of EMR/EHR was built on XP. Some of those companies went out of business and the clinics using the software never upgraded because they couldn’t get the data out into another system.
