Does McAfee really use Windows XP or Windows 2000?

After browsing McAfee's website at www.mcafee.com, I found many hints that McAfee could still be using Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Does McAfee really still use Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or is my conclusion incorrect? I know Windows 2000 and Windows XP are insecure and poor operating systems nowadays, and I was preparing to suggest to McAfee that they upgrade their computers to a newer version of Windows for security purposes, but I would like to confirm they really are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP before I continue preparing my suggestion.

    Yes and no.

    Yes: McAfee will still be running old versions of Windows in their labs. Deliberately so. They need to test out their products on all systems.

    They will also be running pre release of Windows 10 (much more up to date than you would be able to find).

    But their BUSINESS process machines will be running on Windows 8.1 Update 1.
