       @BestGirlGrace @amy Odds of it being somebody pretending to be XP update servers tho? Unlikely right?

       @Lumb @amy If they want the VM I use to put music on minidiscs, I'd probably give it to them if they asked nicely.

       @webweaver @Lumb @amy It was a patch to fix https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/941569/ms07-068-vulnerability-in-windows-media-file-format-could-allow-remote If I were Microsoft, I'd leave the XP update servers running just because it's really irresponsible to have so many unpatched XP machines running around

       @BestGirlGrace @webweaver @Lumb maybe since they're part of the linux foundation they're contractually obligated to keep legacy support to a degree

       @amy @webweaver @Lumb My theory for this one is that it's patching some system that's common between XP and other Windows that are still under support, and so they figured they might as well
