It's about time and I think besides all the usual problems they would face with this upgrade the security features of Windows 7 systems are far superior to XP which made this a no brainer for the armed forces to mandate the upgrade.
XP is so last decade.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built

I work for the government and we just got "new" computers, 2gb ram, 160gb hard drives, and windows XP. I would KILL to have what I have at home for a work computer. Maybe by the time I go to retire in 25 years we'll have something close, but I doubt it. I do a lot of work with ArcGIS and the computers at work are SOOOO slow with that. I look forward to when we get windows 7 at work! | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP HPE-130f

As much as I love Windows 7, I think it's stupid for the government to be using Windows period, because any version of Windows has it's flaws. A better operating system for them to use is Linux, secure, easy to use, and convenient. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sony VGN-NR180E
