Old Windows XP desktops and laptops can be turned into offline media centers for a family room, play computers for a child’s bedroom, recipe holders for the kitchen, etc. In fact, it can be expected that many XP users will probably upgrade and repurpose their systems by taking them offline. Thousands of business enterprises around the world that still use Windows XP many of these companies are in the financial and retail sectors, but these systems are not normally to the Internet, which means that the Windows XP footprint around the world could be greater than estimated. In March 2015, Windows XP was the most common operating system installed in desktop computers around the world, and that statistic was mostly limited to Internet-connected computers. Even though tech giant Microsoft has tried to convince users of Windows XP to upgrade to modern operating systems, there seems to be a certain reticence to do so.
