Can confirm this is the norm in machine shops. I encounter systems running dos, 3.1, 95, 2k and mostly XP constantly. I rather prefer the old dos systems of the obsolete stuff. Less variables. It is easier and more reliable to freeze the tech in time than it is to manage updates.

My last CNC job was just a 98 pc that dropped into dos to load programs, this must have been right around when win10 came out. Sneakernet and floppies made it secure enough, but the main network where all the orders were handled was... terminal based.
