> Windows 95 in a VM
Puh-lease! I log into a VMS server every day to access an application that saw it's last update in 1995. Which wasn't even deployed until 2001. It will be replaced this year with a Win95 era application, complete with acres of giant grey buttons, served over a Citrix link from VMs running Server 2008. Bleeding edge, boys, bleeding edge.
- fsloth 8y agoStatistically a new software project - especially if done by a team with no common history of past successes - is risky. So, if business values stability over risk, I understand very well if they select very very very very long term support option rather than to create the product from scratch.
