Being naive - assuming Microsoft are enormous, not having IBM iron, with
what hardware/software do they maintain their business?

It is *very* partial list. There are about 25 mainframe shops in israel,
only one is listed.

One of the comments on that article left this link

all Mainframe shops in the world.

The reason that I'm telling you about COBOL is that I predict that over
the next few years, new COBOL programmers are going to be in high demand
and very possibly paid a premium for their efforts. Generally speaking,
the COBOL programming skill set resides in baby boomers that have been
programming in COBOL their entire career. The issue is that these baby
boomers have begun retiring in enormous numbers. Additionally, new
college recruits have neither the skill set nor the interest in
replacing them. The problem for companies employing these COBOL
programmers is that if the software stops, so does the company.
