This will be a big win for industrial machines. I work with some that required Win XP to run very old and niche cards that interface with CNC machines.

You can run newer computers but they only just work and cost way more than they're worth.

It's a real shame you end up in a situation where it's cheaper to replace a machine than keep it going just because the software is so hard to get working on a new PC and PC hardware has a limited life. It's effectively bricking a 6 meter CNC machine. That is a lot of machine.
