Re: XP What? Where?

I'd be very leery of installing SP3 on a working machine tool coupled to a Win XP box.

All the windows powered machine tools we use have a warning on the manual saying

"Do not upgrade or install updates as your machine will not be covered by our warrenty/insurance." *

Plus we keep them on the machining network thats air gapped to the internet... so hopefully nowt nasty can get through

* Luckily , those last 2 win machines are going soon and will be replaced with spiffy linux powered ones to match the 14 we already have
