NT?!! Bloody hell. Nothing quite like a 4GB boot partition, is there?

I worked for a large hospital chain that have a large group of hospitals under their umbrella and tons of computers. Every computer is running NT. Their main use software is written in MAGIC and would look only slightly dated on an 8086. They may be worrying about upgrading to Windows 8, but probably not until 2030.

... until the new shit is failing, all over the place, and you can't even buy replacement hardware.

You can't compare proprietary military grade flight computers to consumer hardware. If you care to, then just imagine what they could do with current hardware.

Well at the very least they could go Virtual Machine, for the old software, so that it doesn't pull you down with other possible efficiencies.
