Wasn't XP EOL in 2014 or something after being unsupported since 2009? That's long enough ago that many websites don't test on XP any more, or even work (like sites which require SNI AFAIK). I'm happy to drop XP users I'm afraid, given it has been unsupported for some time (I understand some workplaces mandate it still).

Following in the footsteps of IE 6, Windows XP refuses to disappear for sometimes unbelievable reasons.

It was exposed in a conference at "pas sage en seine 2015"[1] that almost every french banks websites use broken security because their ATMs are still running windows XP and go through the same web server.

As you suggest, I am not using XP by choice...
