Not for IBM and Google:

So? There's lots more business workers that don't work for IBM and google than do.

Maybe it's just me, but why would anyone base their livelihood, business, job, etc. on software that is very very old - maybe decades old - which has not been updated, on technologies deprecated potentially, and as one person stated, has not been supported for years? What if there is a serious problem at a crucial time? Even if the answer is "not my choice, the employer's....", what employer, if it's explained properly would risk the liability of basing their business on this kind of software unless what it's being used for really doesn't;t matter to the business?

Without specifics on the apps concerned, this seems unbelievable, incredulous, sketchy, ill-informed, of poor judgment...can't figure out which.

I agree with what you’re saying but that’s unfortunately not realistic. Many employers would rather stick with what they have, even with the risks outlined to them. I’ve seen hardware that just refuses to play ball with other software or maybe the company went out of business but software still works fine. There’s plenty of reasons to need outdated software.

I’d say if you need some old critical software, dedicate a PC and keep it offline.
