A lot of older folk still have XP in use in my village. Which is probably the Munich situation. Commercially: I still have 3 XP machines in service at house along with more up to date i7/Win7Pro machines. Company I contract to has over 4000 XP machines in service as at last week plus about 700 newer Win7. My desktop at company has XP and Office 365 Outlook, other office 2010 programs, does what is wanted, docs, spreadsheets, email. Only new employees ( or machine failure) get new Capital Cost stuff. Budget constrains. This is however probably a false economy, as lost time due problems is more than capital costs. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
