Stephen - there was no discussion about my co. where I work by day. The reference was to Mike Copeland - and his client with large user base.
My queries re:Win10 are purely on a personal basis - not work related. John & Michael - thanks for your feedback. Seems I really MUST take a serious look at doing the upgrade. Dave - Tiles? Like the main Win 8/8.1 interface - ouch - I hate that. But, as you say - in Win10 it works better. Ok - will have to see...

Kurt your company should have some sort of license agreement with M$ at that count of machines. In our situation we are allowed to switch to the LATEST version at any time on anything because our maintenance agreement(s) all point to paying today for the most current version. Same with our servers. Now server licenses could change for SQL or Exchange that are all based on CPU count and ram but you are talking desktops.
