    Is that XP? It looks more like Windows 98, which is even more bewildering.

    And frist.

    No, it's definitely Windows XP or probably 2003. 9x and 2000 had the older 16-color start button icon, and all later versions lacked Active Desktop.

    I can't ever remember seeing windows in a movie theater; it seems like a bad experience.

    Ah, active desktop. How I miss thee.

    I don’t particularly want the contents of my refrigerator monitored on the internet, but I guess I’m just being naive, since there’s a record of all the food I buy anyway. And if I wanted to watch movies on a computer screen, why would I go out to a theater with a noisy, contagious audience, sticky floors, and overpriced unhealthy snacks to do it?

    I'm curious why they call that fridge "Bespoke" when it's clearly already built and sitting on the floor. I guess you can order one in a different color, but that's really stretching the definition.

    The door panels are changeable. It says underneath.

    Why would they have specified the number of children as 2-1 or 4-3 (i.e. backwards)?

    Oh, of course: it's "amurrican" date formatting.

    Jesus, Windows XP... I never expected that cinemas are that broke.

    I'd be more worried about a fridge/freezer that promises "Non-stop entertainment". Be very afraid.

    There's a whole lot of old tech embedded in every industry. XP probably still runs half the ATMs in the USA.

    When Oppenheimer came out, and they showed off the 11 miles of film that needs to be run through the projector, they also showed that part of it is controlled by a Palm m130. They never bothered to make a new version of the software so when the PalmPilot eventually broke, all they could do was replace it with an emulated version.

    I see what you did here. Pure gold :-)

    Not just the USA or NA, but I have seen plenty of posts from places in Europe, South Africa, India, and Asia also showing XP (usually Embedded edition.)

    Outdated stuff like this also drives the displays in our trams, including frequent errors like the one shown...
