Windows 95 still runs an egg-sorting machine in Germany

Original: Windows 95 is still being used to sort eggs in Germany

A factory egg-sorting machine in Germany is reportedly still running on Windows 95, the operating system Microsoft released in 1995. The story has drawn amused and nostalgic reactions online, with commenters noting how decades-old industrial PCs often outlast the machines they control. It highlights how legacy systems remain embedded in everyday infrastructure long after software vendors move on.

Why now: People enjoy seeing ancient but reliable software quietly doing real work decades later.
