        Mars probe running Windows 98 receives software update after two decades

        https://www.techradar.com/news/mars-probe-running-windows-98-receives-software-update-after-two-decades

        So it's important to note that the news is a bit misleading in how they present this. YES, the probe supposedly runs Windows 98. But that's irrelevant to the news article. It was NOT Windows 98 getting patched even thought the article talks about patching. It was a software update for the space agency's own software that runs ON Windows 98, that's all. Their OWN developers haven't released an update in that long.

          They need to be able to use IGRDP -- Intragalactic Remote Desktop Protocol. It's all the rage these days, right?

          Hey, I wonder if that new fandangled Webb Telescope will have Windows XP on it? lol.

              Seems like that should be the default that everyone uses.

                Yeah, absolutely.
                When I saw what it dows I thought "hey that's something I could use everyday".
                Definately something I'll consider using.

                  Yeah, for sure. That's how I want most of my phone to work for sure.

                      Facts don't matter nearly as much today. It is more about the loudest voice.

                        as much as social media gives a voice to the little person - it allows the crazy to much of one....

                          Always true. Look at Pulitzer and Herst. They defined the truth simply because they controlled the only voices with volume.

                                        Probably sometime this afternoon they'll discontinue the entire business unit.

                                            I bet someone at Google is a sign that says "5 Days Since Our Last Big Project Was Killed Off" like one of those "X Days Since an Accident" signs.
