ROTFLMAO!
I know that there are folks who are running Windows XP... but those are
*not* on the open network, and have to have an internal firewall... but
they run software controlling machines that cost many millions of dollars,
and are still doing very good and useful work.
We're just slowly rolling out C7 (AND we have to encrypt it all, as we
do). But there's no budget to disrupt all the work everyone's doing. Hell,
staffing here is down about a third or more in the almost nine years I've
been here. But then, who needs to spend money on science, I mean, really?
