I see this rather in favor for Mac OS X as their upgrade system definitely works, 10.8 is not old at all (2012), Windows NT is from the 90s mostly pre-internet. It's putting things into perspective.

It also shows what a solid OS Windows NT has been :)

Also there are many valid reasons to not upgrade from NT...

Not if you expose your machine to the internet!

I wonder about NT with nothing but up to date ssh exposed vs win 10 with nothing exposed except the pile of obscure phone home protocols you can't turn off.

I suspect NT wins unless there are unpatched TCP/IP exploits.

I wonder what percentage of in-use ATMs make a similar bet.

[dom0]

~0, because ATMs are not connected to the internet.

Not sure if you are serious. But a OS without security updates for years is almost always much worse.

Windows NT 4.0 - deploy and forget. Maintian only when some hardware breaks.

There are some nt machines chugging along doing specific tasks that will outlive us all.

Make sure to reboot every 2 billion seconds, otherwise weird stuff stops working... Maybe it's only UI, though.

Led a netware 5 migration from NT4 and NT 3.5 in 1999-2000. Some people then would have disagreed with you. :)
