The old keys two old parts a microphone and the internet want to go wrong

Hey there Jason. What afternoon, sir. How you doing?

Peachy it's like 70 degrees here because I figure we've got to start talking

with weather all the time. Every time yeah let's let's are the new listeners gone

yet. It's 73 in Santa Monica. It is 69 here and downers grow villainoy.

There we go. All right. Okay. Well, there's done.

So is XP as we thought, but not yet. It won't die. Well, you know what?

This is where Microsoft has a genius business plan. Let us kill one of the most

popular operating systems in the world and say we're not going to support it anymore

unless you give us buckets of money. They are getting getting buckets of money.

The UK government alone is paying Microsoft approximately 9.1 million dollars

to continue supportive Windows XP Office 2003 and Exchange 2003 for all British

public sector customers. That's three products, right? So they're going to release

patches for three products for 9.7 million dollars. Yes. That's a lot of employees.

Yes it is. That's a lot of programmers that hire to maintain that stuff.

And that's only one customer. They're going to be probably racking in 500 million or

50 at least 50 million dollars from just those smaller clients, not to mention if like the US

government jumps in and throws their hat in. They're probably looking at, you know, well over

100 to 200 million dollars a year just to support XP, which is, which is probably pretty good profit.

I'm guessing. Yeah. I mean, they're getting the Dutch government cut its own multi-million

deal as well. The US has not made a deal yet, but it will because many hospitals in the US still

run XP, work stations, healthcare devices, et cetera, et cetera. Oh, don't forget all the ATMs
