Amazingly, there are still a lot of ATM machines out there running IBM's OS/2, which originally launched 32 years ago.

Embedded systems don't change OS on a whim, they will tend to stay on an old but stable version, so lots of old ones out there. Our company is still shipping (hundreds of thousands of) devices that are based on NetBSD 1.0 (vintage 1994 or so).
