I agree it is poor opsec for any company to be running old operating systems with potential incriminating evidence stored on them. That said, there are still plenty of companies that are running XP and older. My current employer still has a couple of XP machines kicking around on the production floor, still in active use. the semiconductor company I was working at before my current employer was running DOS 6.22 and linux 2.4. When I was working at fairchild, we had a system that was running a version of Unix (cant remember what specific unix it was) from the late 80s - that system held all the data about the wafer, what processes were ran, what stage it was at, etc. 

I myself still keep a couple old PCs kicking around, but I don't store anything of high value on them.
