Microsoft is still raking in millions from goverments all over the world to keep it patched because 'muh missle systems and stuff' run on it.

Not to mention systems life elevators, security cameras, audiorecording studios and what not that was 'super high-tech' back in the XP days, but way to costly to 'upgrade' with every windows iteration.

Not only this, but businesses on legacy systems in general. My previous job had to stick with XP and Windows 7 due to the software and hardware restrictions of their legacy system. It was terrible.
