I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.
- Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
- Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?
The hospital I was seemed to still be using Internet Explorer….
I wonder how the various software needs of hospitals would be with Wine? My guess would be that it wouldn’t be stable enough for them.
Equipment firmware has rigid stability constraints. Office software, if IE is good enough, a tested and unchanging version of Wine is good enough.
