Sure nothing runs "forever" but on Windows it's not uncommon to use utilities compiled for windows 95 or so. Basically anything 32 bit will still run. I use a bunch of command line, and windows-based tools from that era in my daily work-flow. (Hello GREP).

Once it's interacting with more than just Windows though then things get less rosy.
