@kkarhan @rl_dane @fuchsiii Not to mention the countless companies still running ancient AS400 software in VMs (Costco, for one). This will forever delight me.
...and the endless lines of COBOL still handling god only knows how much of North American banking/financial infrastructure. This will forever shock and horrify me lmao

@gordoooo_z @rl_dane @fuchsiii You'd be surprised how many big businesses still insisted on supporting #WindowsXP way beyond it's EoL!
@kkarhan @rl_dane @fuchsiii Oh not at all. Some of my first jobs were in offices before everyone switched from running their crusty JRE enterprise software on local intranets (and requiring a specific browser to run the janky web portal for NetSuite or w/e), to replacing all that crusty but robust old software with barely minimum-viable SaaS products (only to eventually find out during a massive AWS outage that their old local intranet had more redundancy (not to mention actual same day "we'll have someone there within the hour" service when something went horribly wrong) than the entire enterprise SaaS industry *panics in CEO*)
