PC still running Windows XP SP1

I always have the idea that office PCs or home PCs should be patched with Service Pack 3. I was wrong. Yesterday, I sat inside an Internet cafe and the PC that I used was running XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1). SP1 was released in September 2002. That said, patches had not been applied in the past 6 years.

Next time, when I go to that cafe again, I will not use the free PCs provided to check email.
