Can anyone think of another operating system that has users pining for the ability to trade the new version in for the old?
- philwelch 18y agoI seem to remember a lot of large institutions and techies kept using Windows 2000 for years after Windows XP came out.
- rg 18y agoI was in a large up-to-date teaching hospital the other day, and all their networked PC stations were running Win 2000 with some third-party specialized hospital information systems software.
- MrRage 18y agoI'm on a project writing browser-based pharmacy management software for hospitals. I have to make it work in IE6 because later IE version don't run on Windows 2000.
- varaon 18y agoIE6 - Kill it with fire! Might be a pain for IT to replace with Firefox, but is doable. I did this for a 60-year-old and then skinned it just like IE so the difference was barely noticeable.
- jasongullickson 18y agoI guess I meant a different operating system (OSX, NeXT, Be, Linux, etc.) not just a different version. I know of many large companies that stayed with Windows 2000 until it was clear that their only upgrade path didn't include Vista.
