This to me suggests that perhaps they feel that XP has poor, unclear ways of organizing and using information, causing people to focus on unimportant tasks, perhaps?

Not to mention insecure and unreliable. Weird how each release of Windows is more secure and reliable than the last...

I'm trying to lay of the OS itself, because I haven't had a chance to have a proper go with it and even the law of averages says they might get one right soon.

But that link is supposed to be the KEY reasons for IT pros to consider a switch...

Would any IT pros here seriously consider an upgrade based on that?

It's written purely for know-nothing budget holders, and as such, it's bollocks.

I can't see any need to upgrage, until xp stops running stuff which I need which can't see for quite a few years yet. It's been the first Microsoft OS I've been happy with, although I still use the old school grey look and 3.1 style explorer window, but the beefed up start menu was a nice touch.

BTW anyone know how to create a shortcut to a folder so that it opens with the "folders" view for exploring on the left hand side.
