LOLd at the 'Windows XP was a strong and stable operating system that was more than adequate for the vast majority of the world’s business (and NHS) needs.' bit.

Windows XP may have been acceptable at the end, but the first few iterations were a nightmare for security and really should not have been on the web without serious locking down, including a third-party firewall.

Even Windows Vista was a major leap for security, over a decade ago. 7, 8, and 10 all introduced major new security features.
