    Windows 7, first released in 2009, now well out of the most extended of support. Glad to see security of medical records is a top priority.

      Don’t worry, Ubuntu was probably Lucid. 🤭

      Medical environments are notorious for inept tech skills and slow technology adoption.

        It’s probably like the US military and their missile silos still using floppy disks. Better to keep a time-tested and very familiar system running a critical operation than a new one with a bunch of unknowns. Or like when you go to the bank, and the screen the teller is looking at is just a front end going through a dozen different layers with COBOL code written by long dead or retired people on a mainframe at the other end.

        Us end users with very low risk can afford to continuously live on the bleeding edge.

          Just a note, the US military completed the phase-out of floppy disks in 2019.
