I work in a field that is considered by many high tech. I have personally seen a system in use today that duel boots windows 2000 and windows 98.

The product it's used by is old generations and the system does not have any network access but still must be supported by government regulation for several more years....

Few years ago there was a story in a local paper about building automation systems running on Commadore 64 and still doing fine. Build by some company in the 80's. They weren't online, so no security issues.

Tried to find the article online but no luck. It would have been in local language anyway.

Even if they was online, I doubt a lot of people have the knowledge for hack a commodore 64.
