Ok, I can understand if it has become uncommon in rich parts of the
world like Europe and US,
f.ex in Italy, but the rest of the world would probably seem arcane
computerwise to you.
Here in Southeast Asia where I live, many still run WinXP on their
office workstations.
Likewise, they run Server 2oo3, if they indeed have legitimate licenses
at all.
In the computer shops you'll only see Win10 OEM though, cause MS
dictates it,
while the black market for cracked software of every kind is huge.
But this discussion is a bit moot, isn't it? :)

think it's not uncommon to keep running it in small companies and
home servers (due to high licensing cost of Windows server versions).
It /is/
pretty uncommon.
I'm in contact with IT administrators from many small companies, at
this point everyone has either (a) moved to Linux, (b) moved to some
kind of cloud service or (c) upgraded to Server 2012.
Even my school, which struggles to repaint walls, has done (c), lol.
I don't know if it is any different in other parts of the world, but I
suspect it is pretty much the same.
