DECOR links air traffic control systems directly with Meteo France and is vital for taking off and landing in low-visibility situations like mist and fog.

It also runs on Windows 3.1,
Whaaatt???
No upgrades whatsoever? Seriously?

"Saturday morning, air traffic was not that busy but think about it, if during COP21 [a sustainable development forum in Paris held the week of 7 December], the coming and going of heads of state gets disrupted by a prehistoric piece of software, what are we going to look like?"
So many words, so little time...
