Nothing new here.

There is a certain UK government workplace that has over 3500 Win XP machines, and they are not going to be upgraded. But then again, there is no need. There is no Internet access, outside of the secure LAN.

Also, I was at Heathrow the other day, and walked past a Delta check-in Kiosk that was going around in an endless Boot Sequence. Windows 98SE !.

And just a few months ago in Atlanta airport USA, walked past a BA Kiosk that was being opened and worked on. Windows NT4 Workstation. I kid you not !.

What about the old Tandy TRS-80 from 1980. I had one of these in secondary school.
