"""Most software are outdated after a couple of years."""
You'd be surprised. Tons of code runs in production, even in the latest of shiny systems, that was written 10 and 20 and 30 years ago -- either in whole or in parts, refactored etc.
From 1986's NeXT OS that is now OS X Lion and iOS 5, to Bill Joy's TCP/IP, to Emacs.
And tons of enterprise/banking/financial/military systems use ancient code, even 70's COBOL...
