New Windows 10 nag screen

[Shropshire Seagull]

large corps not so much, they can afford to upgrade. in my field of pharma data, its scary how little movement has been made away from XP across the whole industry, surgeries, hospitals and pharmacists are all running XP, most without paying for extended support. the problem is manpower to upgrade, test and rework all the applications, there isnt the funding so they just sit it out and hope nothing happens.

There is also a potential hardware upgrade element to consider too. Some XP kit is too old to run Win 8.1 esp if going for 64 bit version which, as you say, then needs a whole software compatibility testing effort before making the upgrade.

Can be expensive, but the leap cannot be put off forever ....

Any NSC techies know if the majority of large corporations are STILL clinging on to Windows XP and paying through the nose for support for it?

The global, multibillion company I work for still use Windows 7.
