Sorry, let me clarify: I don’t think ransomware is a reason to target NT6. I think ransomware is contributing to wake up big institutions still running NT5 to switch to NT6, which means more software will be ported to NT6, which means (along with other reasons) that NT5 will be even less significant than today.

Windows XP may be patched against it. Its not a matter of design, but implementation.

Windows XP/Server 2003 use is *already* marginal as of today, and it’s only gonna get “worse” as more and more networks get infected by ransomware and institutions all over the world wake up and update (and as time passes of course). It’s not a matter of “fancy”, it is a matter of what people use on their computers. With that argument you may as well advocate for DOS. Please don’t be offended, as always this is only intended as a reality check.
