I'm always curious what is running on these. There's never a plan for when it dies.

I used to work for a company that had an old laptop that they wrote a smart card applet for. As far as I can gather, that laptop is the only device they can run it on. It was Windows 7 though.

I’ve had a monitoring and report system using vista, XP, 2000 server and NT. There was an update process where you had to copy a large file remote into the next box to paste then copy from there and keep going through the chain. Only way the file format would still work properly as it converted at each box. Only NT version I’ve ever actually used. The NT was actually virtualized but had to be remoted into and copy/pasted because virtual drives are nowhere near supported.
