marine_mustang,

When I was working security for a hospital they wanted to send imagery from an MRI (or maybe CAT, I forget) upstairs to be interpreted without allowing any network traffic to be able to reach the host machine because it was running XP. I asked why, and they told me that in order to replace it the vendor was requiring a $7 million replacement of the whole MRI.

AlexWIWA,

Same shit is starting to happen with cars. No way to get the new headunits without replacing the whole car. I know Porsche offers electronic upgrade kits, but I can’t think of any others that do.

I’ve worked in hospitals that still run DOS based programs for certain things. It’s madness.

I liked Vista.

There. I said it.

Same. I had no issues with Vista at all.

Vista was fine, apart from the performance. I had a fairly beefy machine for the time so I hardly noticed, but on lower spec machines it was an absolute dog.

Kinda felt like an unoptimised prerelease version of Windows 7

Telodzrum,

Vista Service Pack 2 was a solid OS, XP actually needed a few service packs to get fully to the place people remember it being great.

devfuuu,

Well I also liked Millennium a lot.

Just when you think you know a guy…

CodyCannoli,

A lot of public infrastructure in the US (powerplants, waste management, etc.) runs off XP or older.

averagedrunk,

Not as prevalent these days, but a lot of EMR/EHR was built on XP. Some of those companies went out of business and the clinics using the software never upgraded because they couldn’t get the data out into another system.
