I have also seen some desktops of my hospital labs using Ubuntu. Must say, amidst all the win7 monitors, that looked so sexy...

Windows 7, first released in 2009, now well out of the most extended of support. Glad to see security of medical records is a top priority.

Don't worry, Ubuntu was probably Lucid. 🤭

Medical environments are notorious for inept tech skills and slow technology adoption.

It's probably like the US military and their missile silos still using floppy disks. Better to keep a time-tested and very familiar system running a critical operation than a new one with a bunch of unknowns. Or like when you go to the bank, and the screen the teller is looking at is just a front end going through a dozen different layers with COBOL code written by long dead or retired people on a mainframe at the other end.

Us end users with very low risk can afford to continuously live on the bleeding edge.

Just a note, the US military completed the phase-out of floppy disks in 2019.

Windows 7 is...ugly so I understand. What I was shocked was they nearly all used it, not just a few

Idk, I honestly like the windows 7 look. But using it after security updates have been stopped is just plain stupid.

I'm running the win 7 wallpaper on my MacBook currently, lol
