Give KVM a try. At least that's what the "big boys" use in their data centers. In *buntu, apt-get install virt-manager and add your old machines to it. You will find that, with the virtio drivers and raw disk images, no cache and native threads, and a bit more ram, windows will run faster in the VM than on bare metal. This is because the kvm hypervisor does a good job on caching hot disk chunks in spare ram automagically. However you loose on the desktop integration side.
As for backwards compatibility, there are other goodies you can find in the linux world. My uncle for example has to run some visualFox 6 and FoxPRO 2 ( good ol' msdos) apps and the hardware he was using is dying out. Windows 7 and up, completely ripped out the COM/OLE 16 bit compatibility layer thus making it impossible to just purchase hardware with a win sticker and run your tools. We ended up using DosBox and wine on a linux box with the old Microsoft OLE/COMs extracted from a windows 98 CD. It runs perfectly.
As to why they still use it, well, one can not simply upgrade a county's retirement fund software to the latest and greatest )

Yeah with all the fuss it would have been easy to slip out. Funny!

It was just some performance art.

What would you do if air-conditioning was off on a hot day at office?

That's what Starbucks is for, or some coffeehouse equivalent.

I'm going to buy a fan
There is no air-conditioning in my office. I have to use a fan. I'm glad there is only few weeks in year where there is really hot (about 35 Celsius[^]).

If air-conditioning was off, Turn it ON

Stop working and keep complaining about the AC not working.

Open the window, then keep working and try not to complain about it. Mind you 'hot' has different meanings in different places.

Anyone here knows of a VNC client that I could run on a Windows CE 6.0 that could start at full screen and that could be launched when the OS starts?
Thank you all!

good luck. We had an absolute #$$%$% of a time finding a VNC server, let alone a client. Obviously, we needed to go the other way... Still right around 6.0, Microsoft wandered off into the woods with CE support... there are reports of siting's in the evening...
