I've been at three F500 companies, ones you've heard of and probably own products from, and most had Server 2003 and aging HP-UX (or AIX, or Solaris) boxes in the mix.

That the NHS has a few old systems doesn't mean jack shit.

Like, there are still mainframes in use in many places, and more than you'd think.
