When I retired (1 year, 3 months and 9 days ago), one of the last things I told the dept head was that one non-networked facility was still running an ancient Siemens front end controller communicating through Windows XP- That there was a race as to which 30 year old hardware would fail and shut it down permanently. He said it was being shutdown in 2 years anyway so they'd risk it.

It's still going strong. Which is good because when I handed the server software cds to my successor, he looked like I'd given him a severed head.

Fuck yeah! Let's corporatize all IT!!!

Oh I would bet he is hiding the fact that someone put out an update without testing it first.  I have worked in IT for a long time and lately there has been a trend that people get lazy and deploy something without testing it so they can can cash their checks.
