WannaCrypt Security Update for Older Systems

Just saw this elsewhere about Microsoft updates against WannaCrypt attacks for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 8, Windows Server 2003 and 2008, and Windows XP embedded. Might be useful for anyone not on the Win10 bandwagon yet.

    Might be time to get off the Windows bandwagon altogether. If they had concentrated on fixing problems rather than creating flashy new interfaces we might not have the current flood of problems.
  • I hope Microsoft is called out for their role in all this.
