[Nottingham] XP EoL, India shows the world who's BOSS

[Jason Irwin]

With the Met and NHS begging MS to pay them goodness knows how much of your
tax for extended support, and banks in the UK screaming about the massive
cost of upgrades (all three being a puzzle, XP EoL is not exactly a
surprise); maybe India has a way forward.

Replacing ~115k ATMs with BOSS Linux (nice name). Could this result in a
turnkey solution for UK banks and their suppliers?

A nice short read, and I'm sure that some of you know w-a-y more about this
kind of thing than I do. Then again, I'm the kind of crazy fool who would
have factored in upgrading and EoL OS as part of standard maintenance.
