I have seen some of the most mission critical transactions being performed by windows 3.1.

Blame walmart.
 
I work for a Steel Fabrication Company. We've got CNC controllers that are 386's and 286's in the shop. They run a dos program called CADCAD3.1. Very outdated, but does the job it was designed for.
 
Our Newsroom Teleprompters until recently were DOS powered... pretty sad for a large TV Studio that we are (talking 3600 employees - not small by any means).

Now the the old Pentium 166ers have been thrown out and have been replaced by Shuttle mini-cubes running Windows 2000 with Athlon 2500+ CPUs... should last annother 10 years or so 😀
 
Only different versions of *nix. Solaris, Linux and OpenBSD (i have customers who still use Netware on Dos though, that and Xenix.
 
this company i used to work for uses DOS and a pathetic qbasic program that keeps track of production #'s, bulletin msgs and timeclock.

its a joke.
 
i work at a bingo hall, our shutter bingo game has 120 proprietary machines ("positions" or MiniPOS'es) that players play at, they're on a proprietary network that requires a proprietary ISA card in an old Pentium 133 box that has proprietary DOS software. fun times.
