[Hidden-tech] State mandates on Windows XP?

[Neal Priestly]

Good morning David-

While I'm not aware of a state mandate, I do know that most modern
compliance frameworks specify somewhere that covered systems must run a
"currently supported" operating system.  If (for example) your non-profit
has systems in-scope for PCI or HIPAA they need to be off of WinXP next
Wednesday to remain compliant.
