>>>>>>> Southwest Airlines was largely unaffected by the recent CrowdStrike outage that impacted many other airlines and organizations.
However, the claim that this was due to Southwest running Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 is unfounded and appears to be based on misinformation.
The rumor seems to have originated from a misinterpretation of earlier reports about Southwest’s in-house crew scheduling applications looking outdated, which some likened to Windows 95-era software.
There is no credible evidence that Southwest actually runs its critical systems on Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
While Southwest did experience fewer disruptions compared to other airlines during this incident, the exact reasons for this are not publicly known and are not related to running decades-old operating systems.
A side note re: perplexity.
It’s an Amazon/Bezos along with Meta that crafts answers to the official, Washington Post (which is the CIA company newsletter) agenda.
It may be right here, but it’s collecting all sorts of data about you and will craft answers to you.
At its least offensive, use will get you targeted ads based on what you search.
