I guess you don't do much in the corporate environment do you?

Let's see -- $EMPLOYER has about 300,000 employees worldwide, the official standard is O2K. That's from a recent migration; before that O97 was standard and some of the older machines are still on it. Works fine except for some of the stranger PowerPong stuff. Haven't had any trouble using OpenOffice here, nobody can tell the difference.

I happen to know that Intel is still running a mix of O2K and and OXP. Nothing newer among my acquaintences there, nor any need to migrate.

Arizona State Government runs O2K and O97 in the AG's office and a couple of other agencies; they don't migrate unless they replace the hardware. No real need to for the last several years.

I'll admit that your business might be larger than the examples above, Don. Where on the Fortune 50 are you, anyway?
