   The healthcare sector is hitting some hiccups trying to upgrade its   
   equipment to Windows 11   
   .   
      
   But then, this has happened with every major upgrade of Windows before   
   this; why are the same mistakes still being made?   
      
   Surely when you buy an expensive piece of equipment with an expected   
   useful lifetime measurable in decades and a computer at its heart,   
   common sense dictates that you will nail down a support contract that   
   will cover hardware *and* software maintenance over that lifetime,   
   will you not?   
      
   We have had about half a century of experience of gear like this,   
   since long before Microsoft came along. I wonder what lessons have   
   been learned ...
