The site does agree with you in the Disclaimer at the bottom of the page:

“The existence of this site shouldn’t be taken as an endorsement to continue using unsupported OSes. You should stick to a supported OS such as Windows 10 or 11 (or, try Linux?!). However, this service exists anyway in recognition that using these OSes is sometimes necessary to run legacy hardware/software, or just interesting to play around with.”

Yeah until some IT moron running a hospital installs this on their aging fleet for budgetary concerns.

I mean that poor IT guy knows it’s shit either way, at least they are trying to do something other than throw their hands in the air and give up completely.

In all honesty though they’ll probably have some old version of WSUS still running on prem anyways. Well that and a large collection of devices they aren’t allowed to update or secure at all.

"Lemonade?" "Please!"

Indeed, I knew it was an important resource many people would need, but also that I had to make clear that getting fully patched up on XP or 7 is of course nowhere near the same as running a current OS with 10-20 more years of security innovation baked in. Although I do try to assume most of the target audience have this level of understanding about security already.
