You probably dont know what kind of budget US has.
The only systems that have not went for eCycle are those techs which are obsolote and US have either abondended them or have a replace in place.
Maintaining age old system is much more costlier then upgrading to new system. Just go out and ask for a 2/4 MB ram that 486 or pentium based machine used and figure out how much it costs to get something like that.
Wrong. MS DOES provide source code under NDA if you are a large enough customer. It was actually provided to China and it got leaked on the internet. Also the detailed PDBs used in kernel driver development contain a lot of information as well.
Custom Linux distro IS THE way to go. Any software that can't be ported should be rewritten.
I know their budget genius.
If the system works, they probably see no need to upgrade it. Maintaining it shouldn't be difficult, it's a damn floppy!
Go to local market and ask for a floppy. Not sure if you side of country is still stuck in 90's in that regard. Here its next to impossible to source a 1.44 floppy forget 3.5 inch floppies.
They kept them from the old days genius, they don't actively buy new ones.
XP was and is the Most stable MS O/S. Hence still being used..
Are you from an IT security background?Custom Linux distro IS THE way to go. Any software that can't be ported should be rewritten.
Well I guess you have no idea about the avg lifespan of floppies and how floppies works.
Secondly you dont know that floppies uses in American system where milspec flopies, custom built with titanium jackets, millitary grade plastic substrate and specialized iron fills. They cost almost as much as a desktop or laptop.
Even after that there lifespan was not expected more than 5yrs. So as per procedure they would need to be destroyed and replaced with freshly produced floppies.
This is utter bollocks.
