Bad idea. I'm betting we'd find half of gov web sites down due to not being able to reboot and issues in old coldfusion and IIS and the like (and needing to fix static links and testing etc).
You say that like it's a bad thing....
It's a dollar thing -- show me a substantial return on the investment
Indeed
Adobe and Microsoft would *love* the increased revenue from updates that would have to be applied to all those old servers. And what about those sites that were made using Front Page? Talk about a nightmare. A costly one.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about old FrontPage. I was thinking Homesite or Dreamweaver, but idk FrontPage from ~10 years back would port very clean into anything modern. So, if anything there needed changing, you'd have to do a manual cleanup of that code.
