Poll: Does the company you work for use Win XP on the desktop?

The other winxp thread about the sp1 stuff got me wondering. I'm wondering how many corporations are running XP as a standard.
 
where I work its actually kinda messy...we'd like everyone on 2K but we have 95, NT, and 2K users. Then you'll come across renegade user's that install their own copy of XP........its a long boring stupid corporate story.
 
We officially run Windows 2000. There are a ton of machines in my company that couldn't run XP. Heck I have more computing power sitting at home in a corner collecting dust than I have on my workstation at work.
 
A little bit of both, all new machines have WinXP on them and all the machines we are reinstalling the OS on, its just a matter of time before it will all be XP here.
 
Yes but we are all geeks.

I used to work at my school's library and they deployed Windows XP on the new guest stations.
 
The company I work for is a large computer company. Thus we get site licenses for every MS OS out there. We run whatever we need to run at whatever given time.

As I work in support writing patches, I am constantly switching back and forth from Win2k Server and WinXP Pro.

Most people are either at Win2k Server or WinXP Pro on their machines.
 
users on the floor run 2K at the desktop . . .

most of IS runs XP

no immediate plans to upgrade to XP worldwide, maybe the US offices
 
I am mr Sys Admin.

Main OS: Win 2k
Just to show we could get it on the big bosses pre-2000 notebook and retain all features: Win XP Pro
Behind the scenes: Linux

We have around 12 Win 2k machines, 1 Win XP and 3 Linux.
 
NT 4 SP6a with about 10 stations with win2k. July 31st is the cutoff date for upgrading NT to win2k, so we are planning to buy the licenses. I believe the total cost is $64,000 right now :Q
 
Mostly 2000 with a few NT4s out there. A few employees who think they are special installed XP, probably warez copies.

IT will find out soon enough and they'll be reamed.

Same here. We try to get everyone on 2K, but it doesn't happen.
