I was thinking large companies, banks etc.. I'm not in IT/programming but remember (despite being young) that 2 other calendar related 'bugs' were mentioned at the time. IIRC we've had one and the epoch bug is the second.

Strikes me that big businesses would have thought "will we need to do this again in a few years" and acted appropriately and that there should be a trickle down effect as large corps demand future proofing in IT products.

Yes negligence, ignorance, lack of foresight, corner cutting, and other human traits feed in to that.

Generally, the bigger and older the company is, the more unmaintained cruft you have. Banks would be one of the worst I imagine.
