Not entirely, we're a large corporate ex govt dept who are still running NT4 on the 
desktop, haven't upgraded since the 95 days, later this year we're looking at windows 
2000, however in our enterprise select agreement which was negotiated when we became a 
company we've always had windows 2000 client access licences which let us run older 
versions of NT if we wanted to, there'd be a small but not insignificant cost to 
upgrade those to XP CAL's.

Given it's taken like 3 years to move to windows 2000 and the cost of updating 700 
desktops... I can't see another upgrade on the horizon, plus theres no way anyone here 
could stomach running XP ;-)
 
I guess what I'm trying to say is that big organisations move very slowly and very 
carefully, upgrading is not something that happens too often and when it does if 
you've had some forethought theres only the labour cost involved.
