          Okay it’s long for people where it’s 6 years ago they learned to tie their shoes.

          Gramps here still thinks LOTR is a recent movie.

            I’ve been in tech since 2003 in some form or another, I’m right there with you in thinking XP feels recent. My daughter was 2 in 2018, so it’s definitely felt super quick to me too.

        ok so technically, the 2018 support was post wannacry? I want to say. I dont believe they totally supported it up until quite a few years prior to that.

          I was struggling to find the newest XP related news to prove my point, it was the best I could do.

          By 2018 XP had been replaced by Windows 7 for several years.
