I do seem to have a 100% success rate at asking questions that get an answer to a different question. I am familiar with the actions that Microsoft are taking over XP; they do an excellent job of keeping their users informed of their actions. Unlike the IETF:-( What I was trying to ask was whether or not the IETF website would still be accessible post April 8th, or will the website developers take advantage of the actions of Microsoft to 'enhance' the website such that XP is rendered useless? Some websites are doing just that but they are giving fair warning. On the other hand, the TLS list has one e-mail saying that 20% of their users are on XP so they will go on supporting it (the TLS list was sort of suggesting that XP was quaint, old and so the limitations it imposed on security could then be ignored).
