    @Jumpshot44 Sadly they are.. using software called Decor. Provides them the software for air traffic controllers

    @YoungWebRebelz Air traffic controllers to do what!?!? Are the skies over France depending on this for the correct and safe routing of humongous heaps of airborne metal? With hundreds of people on them?

    I remember learning about "mission critical" software about the time Win 3.1 was out, but I didn't imagine such a scenario would still exist in a developed, first world country! Sheesh...

    @samk It is being used by airtraffic controllers to send critical weather reports to pilots, lets hope French skies stay clear eh ;)

    Perhaps this explains why they strike so often! Having to use this would probably drive anyone mad.

    How come I'm still alive...
    But guys, Orly is for domestic flights only, international flights land and take of at Roissy Charles de Gaulle so you can come safely. Just hope they didn't agree on the Windows 10 upgrade there! :p
