This must be one of those situations that keep you up at night even at the age of 105, the event being 50 years in the past. I am really glad my job has nowhere near that kind of responsibility.
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.
That is horrifying. Windows Server 2003 is 8 years past EOL meaning it hasnβt received any security patches since then. For such a highly regulated industry your entire tech department needβs launched into the sun.

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