We've got about 70 machines. About half are running Win 2000. The other half are running Win 98. No XP, not now, not ever, and no Vista either. I've never even bothered to install Windows Defender. Between our server (Win NT 4)-based Trend Officescan antivirus system, and occasional scans with Spybot and Ad-Aware, we've almost never had an infection. The older your OS is, you know, the less likely there is to be malware active in the wild that can attack it. <grin>.
