That's where companies make mistakes. Win98 is MUCH more likely to be infected than Win7, and if there is ANYTHING you don't want hackers to get, it's payroll information. As much as I love working where I do, I'd leave quickly if payroll was using an outdated OS.


>Sometimes you might be surprised -- not too long ago had to deal with an enduser that was still running Win98... (since payroll is considered a cost center that doesn't directly generate revenue, it doesn't always get priority -- so it's not uncommon for folks in payroll to end up with "hand-me-down" computers, and generally only get upgraded when someone else in a different "high-priority" department gets an upgrade).
