In my hospital until last year most computers (and we have many!)

Professional and there are no plans to move to Windows 7 in a near
future. There a few older machines with Win 2000 or even Win 98, but
disappearing fast.

Being behind the times is par for a lot of large businesses. This
occurs when IT groups intentionally set things up so as to maintain
their job security. It's bad planning and bad oversight
(management). OTGH, it's a quite necessary, as the hacker underworld
needs it to survive.
