We've been using OSC with LinkedIn at work for the last few days. It had a comedy habit of downloading random people's profile photos and associating them with the wrong person. One of the ugly guys at work comes up as the fittest bird you've ever seen. Everyone else (10% ish) whose picture comes up wrong tends to be a fat, bald old bloke.
I work at banks - and a system can usually be described as legacy on the day it is delivered.
In reality though, legacy is just defined as something that someone wants to replace. If it's a happy mainframe app that's been doing its thang for 30 years and is ticking along fine, doing everything it is supposed to do nobody will want to replace it and it therefore will not be legacy!
