    It’s not an OS, but I worked for the NHS for a time a year ago. They still use Internet Explorer…

      Chances are they use some internal sites that only work in IE. Could even be using some Java Applet or ActiveX plugin that hasn’t been patched in 15 years.

      Even Chrome abandoned everything pre-Windows 10 earlier this year. I reckon there’s more machines than not that couldn’t upgrade OS even if they wanted to.

        That wouldn’t surprise me at all. The explanation I was given at the time was literally “because it has private browsing”.
