Maybe so for Windows NT, but Linux 1.0 was released in 94. It feels strange because I was on the mailing list when Linus announced his project, and I had just gotten out of college when 1.0 became official. And yes as well on anything serious that deals with modern CPU architectures. But my point was that the old stuff has not been replaced, it’s still out there and often times you don’t have to dig much to find it. Particularly at the OS level, in memory management, multithreading, networking stacks and hardware drivers. So the jungle simply becomes more diverse and nothing ever gets retired. Lord, I came across a jumble of Perl code just a few weeks ago.
