Is Win7 a waste? The White House is still using XP system news

  


US President Barack Obama will release a State of the Union address later this year, and White House senior consultant David Plouffe has released the latest video on YouTube, which seems to come from In the White House office, it is interesting that the White House computer system is still supported by Windows XP. We can see the familiar Windows XP screen saver and the XP login screen at the end of the video.

This means that the White House has not upgraded its Windows system for at least 10 years. In particular, after the IT budget was proposed in 2009, the money has not been lost to Microsoft.

Microsoft has been trying to persuade local governments and businesses to upgrade to Windows 7, but the White House has been indifferent. Gartner has published an analysis saying that the support period for Windows XP was once extended to April 2014, and now Windows 7 will be deployed. Lead to waste and a second upgrade in Windows 8 to increase costs, so a large number of businesses and organizations are trying to skip Windows 7.
