尽管现代航空业普遍采用最新的信息技术,但西南航空公司却因其系统运行在Windows 3.1和Windows 95上而避开了CrowdStrike的全球IT中断。这一现象引发了关于旧技术在现代企业中持续应用的讨论。Windows 3.1,作为1992年发布的操作系统,其原始设计并未考虑到当今网络安全的高风险环境。然而,正是这种过时的系统架构,使得西南航空在面对现代网络安全威胁时,反而展现出了意想不到的稳定性。此外,Windows 95作为其最先进的员工调度系统,同样未受到此次事件的影响。这种现象不仅揭示了技术更新换代的复杂性,也反映了企业在选择技术解决方案时,除了考虑功能性和效率外,还必须权衡安全性和成本效益。西南航空的案例为其他行业提供了宝贵的经验,即在特定情况下,旧技术可能比新技术更能提供稳定和可靠的服务。
