No.....Not on XP, either.

Thanks for all the answers.....I think I'd basically got the gist.

I was under the impression that most/all 'government' PCs stayed on XP....And that Microsoft cut a deal with those involved, so that 'the government' WOULD get security updates for XP (for a price)...... to save having to swap all their systems to an updated/more secure version of Windows ?

(Didn't stop me backing everything up onto two separate external hard-drives, yesterday !) 

Only thing I'd be gutted to 'loose' are all the photo's.

Cheers -Phil

Thy did. Microsoft wanted a very reasonable £5.5m for the contract (bloody reasonable given the number of boxes involved!). The contract was deliberately cut as an austerity cost saving measure.

Fred, glad your wife's in the best place & (hopefully) recovering soon.

Speedy recover Mrs Forbes.

Thanks chaps.

Just back from visiting - she looks a lot better than yesterday. And she is definitely in one of the best specialist units.

Splendid stuff, well done the NHS

Which reminds me, I've got to order some 'stuff' from the NHS this morning.
As far as I know, the NHS in Wales hasn't been affected......Yet !

Though when I went to see the cardio/respiratory consultant a few weeks ago, I saw some of the computers at that hospital were running XP.

(Maybe they'd done the 'patching'.)

Cheers - Phil.

Thanks again chaps

The virus probably can't read Welsh...
