What might be interesting is to go through some archive of old, say, accounting software and find whatever was really the best. Maybe something that ran on an IBM mainframe in the 70s or something, but got upgraded decades ago. Lo and behold we discover this software from the past (with some modern tweaks) is the best accounting software ever, and it can run amazingly on earlier node architecture that is extremely simplistic to adapt to modern architecture.
Accounting software needs to be updated yearly to the local tax codes or it becomes useless
