I agree on Millenium Edition, I won't even touch the bargepole!
The reason they told me why they were still using 3.1 was the cost of
the upgrade: In order to have all departments in sync they'd have to
upgrade all their systems in one go.
Cheers,

Anyroad, if issues of workload are to be borne in mind regarding
unsupported OSs the we should also ditch Windows 98. Although I
wouldn't agree with it on the grounds that there are tonnes of
these around (I even saw 3.1 'For Workgoups' on every machine in
a government department not two years ago, pretty nippy on them
Pentiums I must say!).
In some programs I refuse to support Win 9x and Millennium (for
technical reasons related to some of the hardware problems in those
OS'). However on the matter of Win 3.11 there are some parts of
the QLD Education department who were still using that OS in
relatively recent times. At the time the reason was "because Win
95 has bugs" which while true was not really a valid reason in that
Win 95 for all it's warts was generally more stable than Win 3.11.
As you can imagine it created quite a problem with inter
departmental documents written in various versions of Word, Access
etc.
