      What kind of backwater hospital/healthcare company uses chromebook

      I was at a specialist’s office and noticed they were using Windows XP. This was 3 years ago.

          Privacy =/= Security. Windows XP might have good privacy (I would argue Windows 2000 is better for that, as it doesn’t have Product Activation), but security is nonexistant in 2025 in either case. For malware, it’s free real estate.

      I did care before COVID, and the chromebooks were the safe option. Some sites had desktop computers available, but those had no antivirus and we logged into the admin account with full permissions.
