Like, as a daily driver, for specific uses, or both?

I run a CNC machine which requires XP for the control program. The only other option was DOS. We installed it via floppy

If it’s not internet connected it’s not that big of a deal

It's actually the most reliable PC we have in terms of actual hardware lol.

i have several clients with xp, or even older, in similar roles. i keep a couple old desktops (slot 1 celeron, anyone?) at the office just in case they need a replacement.
