A user on TikTok has gone viral after showing the computers at one of his customer’s offices.<\/p>\n

In a video with over 935,000 views, tech influencer @lotsaplots shows an array of computers, each of them out of date and using the Windows 2000 operating system.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026They’re using the latest technology from 1999,\u201d says @lotsaplots at the beginning of the video.<\/p>\n

@lotsaplots scary day (stupid server!) #Windowsnt #oldtechnology #oldtech #servercrash\ud83d\ude02 #servercrash #techtok #tektok \u266c original sound \u2013 lotsaplots <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The video shows several computers, including one Dell machine and another Hewlett-Packard computer. One has a CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operating system that it is running is Windows NT 2000,\u201d he explains of the Hewlett-Packard machine. \u201cAnd they actually use it! Really, they use this.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the operating system may be old, it was actually supported by Microsoft until 2010.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, workplaces using out-of-date operating systems is not uncommon. According to Forbes, who cite a 2019 study by networking company Spiceworks, \u201cone in three companies surveyed are still running at least one Windows XP machine within their network.\u201d<\/p>\n

TikTok viewers shared their love for the video and offered their own tales of vintage software in the creator’s comments section. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had a CPA firm running on Windows 98. I had to virtualize it on a Windows 10 computer so they could get migrated and upgraded to the latest,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI quit a temp to permanent job, because they were using XP to run their entire plant,\u201d another added. \u201cI didn’t see a future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to a house the other day they were using Windows 95,\u201d a third claimed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked at a ‘state of the art’ 911 center that ran on windows 2000 on their phone computers until 2020,\u201d another TikToker stated. <\/p>\n

While the video may have been fun, TikTokers shared in @lotsaplots’ frustration with having to deal with such machines.<\/p>\n

As one user put it, \u201cAs a nostalgic computer geek, this is so awesome. As a tech, this is such a nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n
