No, has not yet been removed.
And i'm sooo happy about this.

Cause i'm still using XP for my work. Deliberately.
Why? Because it's so lightweight in a virtual machine.
Give it only a few hundred Megabytes of RAM and it runs.

And for those who say XP is insecure because it doesn't receive
updates anymore: If i run a virus scan on my XP (using GData)
it does NOT find anything.

And BTW, Microsoft still sends me a Defender update every month
via automatic updates.


my 2 cents,
