Why do hotel business centers still use Windows 7?
Stayed at a Marriott near Newark last week and their business center PC was running Windows 7 with no antivirus. I just wanted to print a boarding pass, is anyone else finding ancient OS setups in public places?

Yeah I read somewhere that a lot of hotels just keep using whatever Windows version they originally installed because it's cheaper than paying for new licenses and training staff. It's wild they let public computers get that outdated though...

Oh yeah I totally feel you on this. I ran into the same thing at a Holiday Inn in Ohio last month, their computer had Windows 7 with the sticky keys popup still on the login screen and everything. It's crazy how these places just leave those old machines sitting there with zero security updates for years.
