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.

DId they actually expected Martians to exist, find it, and plug in a monitor?
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.

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.

It's easy to make fun of but it might not be a bad strategy. Just trying new things to see what sticks. Just sucks a lot of it seems to be useful and then is gone.
