Well, if they are running Centos or RedHat, then they are a good step back 
from the bleeding edge.  But I'm not really in a position to toss pebbles; 
I only retired my Ice Cream Sandwich phone this spring, my laptop is a 3 
year-old i5, and I use a Fedora 16 system as a key workstation.  And since 
I'm no good at maintaining heavy machinery, I use duct tape rather than 
baling wire.  No XP, though, and I have at least used W8.1 in the lab.

(Not sure how edgy AIX/AS400 users are ... but I do remember the 
commercials IBM put out a couple of Olympics ago.)
