While people don't want to move onto Windows 11, I recently saw a fricking Vista on a local office supply store.
I've seen brand new installs of XP. An ancient process works there, so if they need a new deployment, XP it is.
No internet and minimum user interaction though
It's really fine if they have no access to internet. They probably have their software that works fine with it, and probably won't work on newer OSes. There is an airport that still uses Win 3.1 on some computers, don't recall the name though.
Funny thing is, XP still appears on Windows market share.
You're probably remembering articles stating that Southwest Airlines still uses Windows 3.1, they were floating around the tech news sites during the CrowdStrike fiasco a few months back.
Sadly, it seems to be misinformation.
Aww, too bad it's actually fake. It was interesting yet funny. Though me remembering that goes a couple years back. It seems it's been around for some time, probably a meme then.
Thanks for the link by the way. ^^
