Piracy is no longer a big problem, however, revenue is....
Companies don't change operating systems willy-nilly anymore. They are
very conservative, and very cheap. My workplace just got rid of the
last few XP machines about a month ago. Telling them that they will now
only have 6 months of support for what they just did, will probably make
IT freak. I'm not sure how it is with other companies, but here the IT
department is on the level with every other division of the company, so
basically they dictate what we can do. They charge for upgrades,
monthly maintenance, software, so they've configured themselves as a
revenue center. False revenue, because all they do is drain money from
other divisions.

doesn't a lot of the world still use XP. AT least 25% of the ppl I
know still do even though I keep telling them to move on but that
takes new HW and mostly $
not everyone can afford this. I know one guy with Win 3.11
I may be wrong but I do not think piracy is as big a problem as it
once was, nothing can stop it completely.
Maybe we should go back to Dos >:-}
