Hi Peter:

There is hardly a business that isn't using XP. A bunch of us geeks were conversing about the state of the industry and all of us know dozens of businesses where XP sits behind the scenes, in all automation and POS systems...I really find it amazing. People that are working on desktops are using the newest Windows variations but in any type of appliance software there appears to be that XP/2000/NT hiding behind the scenes. I really wonder how many of these packages are out there running as there is no way to document them as they rarely appear on the web and are therefore being substantially under reported..

Jim

M$oft did their best to persuade us stubborn winxp users that refusal to 
upgrade will be punished soon by disaster.

When I saw winxp prof running on a Delta Airlines workstation in SFO 
yesterday, I felt a wee bit less afraid.
