I took a quick look at that GAO report.  It clearly is not all that accurate.  
In a discussion of "old" systems, it mentions a system with "reported age 52 
years" but it "runs on windows server 2008 and is programmed in Java".   Yeah, 
right.  I wonder if it's ignorance speaking, or an attempt to weasel more 
taxpayer money out of unsuspecting politicians.  A number of other examples are 
similar.  For example, a "56 year old" IRS system that actually runs on an IBM 
z series machine from 2010.
