      Yup, I use a million dollar system that runs on XP. We updated the computer last year. They sent us a PC that dual boots XP and Win10. Win10 so it can connect to the internet and pull updates. XP so it can run the control program, which is written in Flash.

      One of our Scanning Electron Microscopes runs Win7. Not great, it’s not allowed on the network because of this.

      Oh yeah, I swear that two years ago Southwest had a total crash of their systems because they still had NT4 machines.
