One function of the organisation that I work for is supplying support
for Microsoft products. My source works in this environment.

How closely I listen to what is said is another matter. The removal of
IE from Windows7 has not come up to date, which is no surprise as most
of us are still on XP, and IE is one of the supported browsers in our
systems.

Why do we stay on XP? Most of the hardware supplied to us came with a
Vista licence. For most of us (me for example) XP contains all we
need, and performs better on the hardware that we have. So our systems
have XP installed on them before we collect them. At my age this has
been welcome, as I've now had a stable XP system for nearly 11 years.

Newer hardware comes with a Windows7 licence, so we're letting the
rolling renewal process take us to Win7. The end of service for XP
will force an acceleration in that process, but my own end-of-service
date (retirement) means that I'll likely stay on XP until I get my own
PC.
