Android may be free, but since new versions of Android are often bundled with new phones, phone companies are reluctant to give up the new hotness for their old devices. Microsoft isn’t the only company out there making money on OSes. And there’s that wedge preventing security-relevant upgrades again. But they also need make users pay for XP support so that they’ll have an incentive to buy the next thing. On one hand, you can hardly blame them - they’re stuck supporting 15-year old software at this point.

It’s all about the money.Īnd although Microsoft eventually offered free patches for XP against WannaCry, they allegedly held back the release of the patch for a few days, in an attempt to shake down some of their former customers who had not yet upgraded. There will always be insecure Windows systems out there because you have to pay to upgrade. But this will push some institutions, not to mention individual users, to forgo upgrades and keep on limping with out-of-date or otherwise unpatchable systems, which will be ripe for mayhem. The cost of upgrading Windows is non-trivial, and Microsoft is always going to insist on receiving payment for newer versions of their OSes - fair enough, that’s how they make money after all, and they need to pay their coders and shareholders. Why are a bunch of nuclear physicists at Chernobyl still running XP? Because it’s what they can afford. We can only guess at what the budget of a rural hospital’s IT department looks like, but I’d guess they’ve got a lot fewer resources to work with. And yet, the act of upgrading the system caused some real institutional pain and required real effort. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics isn’t badly funded by government standards, and certainly better supplied with talented technical people than many bureaucracies.

I’m sure they’re working through the same thing with Windows 10 right now. On top of this, they had to pay for all new software licenses. Even so, it took a number of years to get through all of the security and compatibility testing required to make the switch. (They dodged that bullet.) But then along came Windows 7 and the end-of-life plans for XP. When Vista came out, they looked into upgrading, but for monetary reasons, had to put the project on hold. In our Bureau, we had a few thousand Windows XP installs. Linux is more secure, ironically, at least partly because it’s free as in beer, and upgrading to a newer version is simply cheaper. So why is WannaCry, and variants, hitting unpatched XP machines, managed by professionals, all over the world? Why are there still XP machines in professional environments anyway? And what does any of this have to do with free software? The answer to all of these questions can be found in the ancient root of all evil, the want of money. There’s some truth to the viruses and the patching, but when WannaCry is taking over hospitals’ IT systems or the radiation monitoring network at Chernobyl, it’s not likely to be the fault of the stereotypical naive users, and any automatic patch system is only likely to help around the margins.

Then they say it’s a failure to apply patches and upgrade their systems, because their users are just less savvy, but that some new update system will solve the problem. Wrong, that’d be Android for the last few years, or Linux since forever in the server space. They say that the problem isn’t with Windows, it’s just that it’s the number one target because it’s the most popular OS. While the Linuxers are holier-than-thou, the Windows folks get defensive. Anyway, at least patches are propagated faster in the Linux world, right? “There are many eyes looking over the source code.” But then there’s a Heartbleed vulnerability that keeps them humble for a little while.

“That’ll never happen in our open operating system,” they say. Requires: 0 Dragonborn-Dawnguard_Compatibility Patch \ Dawnguard + Dragonborn.Whenever there’s a new Windows virus out there wreaking global havoc, the Linux types get smug.
