You should have seen the panic back in 2017 when my team found a cluster of Server 2003 running at a hospital.

The client thought it was fine.

Let me guess

"It's still running fine! I don't see the problem." -Business

"What's it do?"-IT Consultant

"Oh, it's our ERP. Every worker here is connected to it via RDP including the folks working from home, and we don't even have VPN! It's just a little slow. Can you make it faster?"-Business

Reminds me of when a client walked in to the help desk I work at the other day with a 2015 Macbook Pro still running El Capitan. I upgraded her to Monterrey - it’s been EOL for a year, but it’s better than sending her away with El Capitan. Monterrey is the best I can do since OCLP would be outside our policy.
