I used to work for a Power Company, that had a hydroelectric dam. There were sensors in the dam that needed Windows 98 to read data from. I remember we ended up having a fleet of old Asus Eee PCs specifically for that, that obviously never ever ever connected to the Internet, or really any network.
- cool-RR 7y agoReactOS is the answer.
- jason0597 7y agoReactOS really sounds promising for these specific areas and I hope it gets better and better with time, it's just a shame that it's development cycle is slow right now though I understand it's hard to reverse engineer Windows
- ddalex 7y agoThe answer to the question How can I most easily break mission-critical systems using half-baked software? ReactOS is for hobbists that don't mind if their toy OS crashes every 3 minutes or so.
- Gracana 7y agoGive it to 'em, man. Real engineers maintain their mission-critical systems by running their obsolete software on obsolete budget consumer PCs.
- Piskvorrr 7y agoNot to Windows 98; IIRC ReactOS strives for compatibility with the Windows NT tech tree.
