Windows 95 Still Sorting Eggs in Germany
Original: Windows 95 is still being used to sort eggs in Germany
A German egg-sorting operation is still running on Windows 95, nearly three decades after the operating system launched in 1995. The story has been widely shared as an example of remarkably durable old technology, with readers marveling that mission-critical industrial machinery can keep working on software Microsoft long abandoned, and debating whether such systems are a triumph of reliability or a worrying sign of unpatched infrastructure.
Why now: A story about decades-old software still doing real industrial work strikes a chord with tech audiences and sparks nostalgia and reliability debates.
