Indeed. I know a lot of people still using XP to run Pro Tools, and it

XP is fine as long as it has either no live internet connection or a
decent security suite running, and as it has been going out of use, very
few new exploits are about, as the return on writing them makes it not
worth the effort.

I would never want a live internet connection to an editing workstation.
That's just asking for trouble. Stick it on a backend network with sftp
only if you must.
