"As of 2011, MS-DOS is still used in some enterprises to run legacy 
applications, such as this US Navy food service management system."

It is unclear whether this is with or without emulation, however. And 
they could just be running this stuff on really ancient hardware. (When 
I left my previous company, we still had a box in storage with Windows 
98 installed on it. Mercifully, I *never* needed to power it up!)
