“Decades old” means the software must be at least 20 years old, thus from 2001 or older. According to the BBC, this came preinstalled on some Dell laptops in 2010. How can it be “decades old”??
- dragonwriter 6y agoUm, it's quite possible that software released in 2001 or earlier was part of shovelware still being dumped on laptops in 2010.
- lynguist 6y agoEspecially the screenshot is a giveaway that the software is less than 19.5 years old. It shows Windows XP which was released only 19.5 years ago. The BBC heading is unfortunately lurid and not factual.
