I decommissioned multiple 2008R2 hosts in the past couple of years and at least one 2008.
If the business had it their way they would keep using them forever because they don’t want to pay any money or figure out a solution that lets them access historical data on a modern platform…
I’m sure i’m not alone. I’m positive older hosts are running out there at all kinds of orgs large and small. This isn’t just a windows problem either. The weakest link is still probably some refrigeration controller with an internet connection.
My pentium 133 got upgraded to 128MB a few years after I had it. Definitely by 1999. It’s a 1995 proc so it’s not an unrealistic ram amount within the usable lifetime of the processor.
