Most of us make the distinction:
(1) "Used in the business world" usually means what is
currently used by suppliers of goods and services.
(2) A digital video jukebox sounds like a consumer
product of unknown date. It may be uncommon to
see a consumer end-product with the top proven
OS of the late 1990s still in service today, but no
special surprise. (My excellent CRT monitor, built
in the 1990s, died only last month.)
