Comment Still using Windows 95 (Score 1) 620
I work at one of the major government research councils here in the UK. We are still trying to make a claim for removing all the Windows 95 machines left in the buliding. Problems with budgets, politics etc means we will be supporting all flavours of Windows for quite a few more years yet (we are still rolling out W2K where required).
Secondly most of the important scientific applications such as GIS are only just recently functional under W2K with some third party applications (such as machines driving lab equipment) never likely to be. We still have some old 486 computers running DOS 6.22 for some applications.
Rolling out W2K was bad enough I can't think of the problems we will expereince if we have to change over so soon.
