One of the virtues of free software is that we continue to support old computers. No version of Windows morally deserve our support, but if some of us feel like working on that, it is useful to help the people who use Windows. The old versions may be insecure by long-ago accident, but that is no worse than the new versions that are insecure by intent. Microsoft won't fix any of them. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
