"Remember that there are still tons of Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 machines out there being used daily. - dybhahl #reply-16532679 "Windows 3.1? Wrong. Not in any major company today." - DiViT #reply-16533465 "Hmmmm... the largest danish company I can think of that has Windows 3.11 client PCs in use has 26,000 employees." -dybdahl #reply-16534033 Which seemingly implies one company using "tons of Windows 3.1 " Then Dave Howe says: "And that company hopes to be competitive? If they aren't falling behind their competition, they will eventually." #reply-16535750 And in defense: "They surely don't have that many IT expenses. Most of their desktops run NT4, and they use Office 97 the most common Office suite today." - dybhahl #reply-16535750 So which is it Lars. Is it a) Tons of Window 3.11 in use today b) a few PCs that have been replaced by newer ones to support current version of office, but haven't yet been been turned off because the screensaver that had been left running on it was too cute?
