https://news.vice.com/article/windows-31-is-still-alive-and-it-just-killed-a-french-airport?utm_source=vicenewstwitter in realtà fa solo parte di un sistema di comunicazione in caso di maltempo atmosferico (DECOR - diffusion des données d'environnement contròle d'Orly et de Roissy), ma cmq essenziale in quel caso :D tanto che un suo problema ha comportato il fermo precauzionale dei decolli dall'aeroporto di Orly a causa della nebbia non solo 3.1, comunque: "The tools used by Aéroports de Paris controllers run on four different operating systems, that are all between 10 and 20 years old," "Some of ADP's machines run on UNIX [an operating system favored by universities and start-ups in the '80s], but also Windows XP," Non sorprendentemente, questo comporta qualche problema di personale tecnico e relative competenze in materia: "The issue with a system that old is that people don't like to do maintenance work," explained Fiacre. "Furthermore, we are starting to lose the expertise [to deal] with that type of operating system. In Paris, we have only three specialists who can deal with DECOR-related issues," said Fiacre. "One of them is retiring next year, and we haven't found anyone to replace him," he added. Altri ovvi problemi sul lato hardware, "Sometimes we have to go rummaging on eBay to replace certain parts," said Fiacre. "In any case, these machines were not designed to keep working for more than 20 years."
