    I can’t imagine my code running 10 years in the future, never mind 50… Then again, at our financial firm, we still run on Windows Server 2003.

        I work in the tech department for a company and I guarantee that they have made management aware and management’s response was “No it costs money, so I don’t want to. Anyway it’s working fine.”

        It’s our job to tell management that they’re being idiots, but it really is their responsibility to stop being idiots. If they don’t, that’s on them, and I have the emails to prove it.

        Well big businesses can pay Microsoft past the EOL to maintain patches if it’s worth it for them. Doubt many do though LOL
