At my old employers place they have a LeCroy waverunner with winXP, I 
think they got it 2005 or before. I know they are still using it.
Only 13 years, but if they keep it off the network, I guess it will run 
some more years.
It did seem a little "wild" to me that they put a desktop windows on 
that thing when I first saw it :-D
