      Absolutely not. Microsoft has changed their business model. Upgrade or die. They’re a cloud company now, with a side of tracking and advertising.

      We will probably still see early 2000s tech 20 years from now.

      Definitely.

      Although most software we develop now is designed to be upgraded or run on newer OSes. So there is less need to keep running old OSes.

      But you can be certain that any new airport or trainstation will still run the same OSes as when they were build. Because it is better to encounter old problems you already know how to fix, than to encounter new problems. Especially if lives depend on it.
