According to MsPowerUser, London Met Police's 18 000 Windows XP PCs is a disaster waiting to happen.

I think this may be slightly exaggerated.

According to MsPowerUser,
"The police force has already started upgrading its PCs from Windows XP — but rather than upgrading to Windows 10, the force is upgrading the PCs to Windows 8.1 instead."

Steve O’Connell, the spokesman of the 0Conservative London Assembly said in a statement:
“The Met is working towards upgrading its software, but in its current state it’s like a fish swimming in a pool of sharks. It is vital the Met is given the resources to step up its upgrade timeline before we see another cyber-attack with nationwide security implications.”

I wonder who might be behind MsPowerUser, Microsoft ?

Surely at London Met Police there must be sensible persons who know their job.
