^^^This, my company is stuck in the dark ages, still on XP, still on IE6, still on 7 year old P4's with HT. Trouble is they won't upgrade any of the hardware so we are stuck with what we have. I'm just waiting for the 11 year old server to die - then they will have to do something.
A company I worked for last year upgraded all of their 5 year old systems to brand spanking new Core 2's but they took the downgrade to XP option and it ran like lightning and I used to have Outlook, 3 large Excel docs, 3-4 IE windows and 7 SAP sessions constantly on the go so I don't blame a lot of company's for sticking with it. On a 2GB system running Windows Vista or 7 it just wouldn't have been as snappy to use.
Win 7 is a great consumer OS, and because of it's widespread adoption business are going to be forced to adopt it so that their employee's actually know how to use their work computers, but they don't need it.
