>>Won't make any difference to us. We already receive all new machines with 98 or NT (and now Win2K) pre-installed, only to reformat them all and install Win95.

IT standards, and veeerrry slow technological progress in many gov't agencies.
Only certain dev people like me are allowed to run other OS on test machines. We are supposed to move to NT4 someday, but I'm fairly sure it will be obsolete by then. I'm hedging my bets by testing on all potential OS - meaning NT4, Win98 and now Win2K (but not Win Me, I'm certain we will not use that).

BTW, I see here on the UT daily discussions about cutting edge technology like .NET, n-tier, etc. No offense meant to anyone, and I try to keep up with general advances, but many top gov't agencies have many huge apps still on the mainframe, never mind all the DOS-level apps and use of Win95. Single-tier vfp6 apps are very impressive in this world I work in, this is the reality of it, and often all that time & budget will allow for. The upside, it's relatively simple to look like a world-class developer with competition like mainframe & DOS apps :)
