right. Just think of major industries like banks and insurance companies. Some of them are running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with SP3 or SP 4 (latest Service Pack) on thousands of workstations. People don't realise that you don't just upgrade an operating system over night for such an amount of workstations; even ungrading to the next Service Pack version requires some detailed planning and preparation testing; especially with all the inhouse developed software. Even in service pack upgrades, sometimes (not often) applications dont work properly anymore; and have to be modified in some way. Any futher delays in the delivery of service packs and/or patches potentially endanger rolling out these massive upgrade actions, as they are often planned together with upgrading application software.
