Dunno. When I asked politely this reason (And pointing out I have the source 
code for the software I run), was just given the Nothingburger replies of
"Go look it up why XP sucks" or "Anythings possible, nothing is hackproof".

One bragged about hanging out online with superhackerz "who take down networks
for fun" to which I politely challenged him to go ahead and take my subnet
down while the popcorn gets ready. He never replied and vanished months later.
