Does anyone know what they get for $9M/year? That sounds awfully cheap. A few engineers to port and install security patches? I guess there must be a few businesses out there paying, so what is the total money invested in maintaining Windows XP? I guess that one problem with keeping Windows XP alive is that with fewer people using it over time, the chances of discovering flaws which need patching goes down. But maybe these guys don't care about that because all their stuff is offline with epoxied IO ports, yes? /s |

Well, most of the systems on ships are like that. Integrated into the ship and hardware, with no open IO ports.
Or do you expect being able to put a thumbdrive into the radar control system?
