Well good for you, you free spirit you. But standardization != bureaucracy. If you're responsible for a fleet of 10,000 workstations, you don't want to have to manage them individually. Because that would suck. So, that means that you typically use disk images, RIS, MOM, SUS/WSUS/Microsoft Update, etc, etc, to manage your workstations. Switching operating systems in a complex environment is a non-trivial thing. > So you're saying Windows XP has problems Windows 2000 > doesn't? I could list problems 2000 has that XP doesn't. Yes, XP has problems that 2000 doesn't, and vice-versa. XP has problems that Windows 3.1 doesn't. But again, that's neither here nor there. If you're using Windows 2000, there's not that much reason to upgrade in many cases, because they're so similar. > Backwards compatibility is the bane of progress. I submit that there would be very little progress made in any field, if it required that you throw away all the assets you currently have.
