Yup. It's easy for folks not involved to misunderstand the importance of the
corporate market to MS.
The Fortune 500 I used to work for only started rolling from XP to 7, slowly and carefully, last year. Probably my last
consulting work for them (14 years later) was recompiling a rogue bit of the system I developed in 32 bit.
When you have a really huge operation totally dependent on data communications and processing and highly integrated, you
don't change ANYTHING without real need, endless testing and great care, let alone the OS for a large part.
