walk into any shop or bank, all still using XP, NT or something else, simply because they don't need vista and their applications aren't compatible, they don't need an upgrade just to have the latest thing, they generally don't have the internet on either so little to no chance of viruses or nasties

At my old work we still used Windows 3.11 because they couldn't afford to upgrade to a newer version of Windows and a newer version of the software - the 3.11 version didn't run on 95 or anything else.

Since you people take far too much effort in your quoting, I shall say this: (and then someone else will criticize what I have to say)
- Scripts are generally developed by their developer to target the platform they are currently running. Not everyone has (or can afford to) upgraded to Vista yet. Admittedly, some developers do have both, but it takes a bit of extra effort to go and fix what didn't work before. This might eventually lead to an XP version and a Vista version of a script, at best.
- The guy with the MSDN subscription probably knows a bit about MS function calls, because who in their right mind would pay $499.99+ [US] (£299.99+) for that MSDN subscription, if they weren't really a developer / technician?

Final point:
You people should join your local debating society...
