US Taxman Slammed: Half of the IRS’s Servers Still Run Doomed Windows Server 2003
14th October 2015
Half of America’s Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) servers are running Windows Server 2003, despite extended support for it ending in July.
That’s according to a report by the Treasury Inspector General that took a look at the IRS’ $139m upgrade program.
The report is distinctly unimpressed and notes that the IRS “did not follow established policies over project management and provided inadequate oversight and monitoring.”
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.

Police: I’m just having a couple problems with it.
Moss: What operating system does it run on?
Police: Vista
Moss: We’re going to die!
