Seeing is believing, the Pentagon is still using Windows 95

Windows 95

Windows 10 continues to grow in terms of the number of users at full speed, although as we have seen on many occasions, there are still many who resist making the leap to the new version of Microsoft's operating system. One of them, as we have learned in recent days, is the Department of Defense of the United States or what is the same the Pentagon that still uses Windows 95 in its computers for the most part.

This information has been released by one of the systems administrators of the Department of Defense, who has revealed that not only has the leap to Windows 10 not been made, but that in addition to Windows 95 it is also used in many computers Windows XP and even some even older versions.

Without a doubt, this is not recommended at all since for example Windows XP stopped being supported by Microsoft in 2014. Although as we have been able to know, the risk is not as high as we could all think, and that is that most computers that work with these operating systems are not connected to the Internet so the risk is minimal at first.

"That many of these systems continue to work under Windows 95 or Windows 98 is fine, as long as they are not connected to the Internet"

Despite the fact that many are concerned and almost outraged, the American institution has already announced that they will complete the transition to Windows 10 before the end of the year. Microsoft will surely be of great help to the Department of Defense to make this change without too much trouble and hiccup.

Do you see it logical that the United States Department of Defense continues to use Windows 95 to this day?.
