Or perhaps you are working for one of those rare sites which paid for continued support for Windows XP?
Too true.

I bought a rip roarer Dell in 99 with W97. Went several OS iterations and now have XP, SP3. The computer is slow these days, but fine for a router, and print and file server and with it's huge monitor it is a good for charting. It also has my free very old Web Site Editor that I only use occasionally.
I would use it more, but the hardware/software doesn't seem to support my Chrome Browser and so I have to use Firefox on it.
I much prefer Chrome and find that a Chromebook is what I usually use. I do have (2) 17 inch Window's laptop machines that are my wife's castoffs that I updated to Windows 10.
My old work laptop had a disaster on the motherboard and I decided it wasn't worth fixing.
As you mention above, nothing much is new on the XP update front, though the machine keeps telling me it has 5 updates ready. Nothing changes when they run.
