Wow, if I worked for a company that was still on, at latest, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 in 2014, I think I'd be looking for a different job.

Even my tech-illiterate father, who has a laptop with XP on it, knows enough to not even connect to the internet with it anymore. He mostly uses it to play solitaire currently, and uses a newer laptop w/ Win10 for anything on the internet.

(edit: grammar)

I am looking for a different job, and it's largely in part due to issues with the IT situation. I basically have stuck around this long because while the IT situation is Kafkaesque, I've really liked a lot of other aspects of the job, and it was in a field I feel strongly about.
