If that's too up to date for you, I think there are still CDs for
Win2K and Win98 around here someplace.

One of our developers just got back from an "ethical hacking" class. Old operating systems (like XP) are prime targets for hackers since they aren't updated any longer. I had an old Aspire One notebook running XP that had all the latest patches applied and had been booted and running for a long time. A couple of weeks ago I rebooted it for some reason, and it started applying "1 of 5" updates before it shut down. I pulled the battery before it could do much, then took it off my network. It'll get freshly loaded with Windows before it goes back on the network.

Microsoft is still sending out updates occasionally, mostly for the
other components that you have installed. You also get that microsoft
malware removal tool every time. I have never seen it fix anything.
