Well, this could get real interesting for me..
Let me explain...
I just got hired by NMCI two weeks ago and my first day is this coming Monday. I see now that I could be dealing with huge backlash from irritated people, when all I'm doing is trying to make a living like everyone else! We'll see. I'm actually going to be part of the Help Desk at the Naval Base in Norfolk, VA. I have 4-6 weeks of "training" first. We'll see how that goes, I don't know what that involve since I've been doing help desk for 5 years already. But I digress... I'm interested to see what it looks like from the inside, especially after reading all of this. Some of the complaints I see seem quite a bit silly from having worked in a large user environment already, but some have some good basis.
You are severely mistaken. Last year and the year before, MANY MANY student computers shipped out with windows 2000 by default. I work at a University, and I will tell you that in those two years around 75% of DELL computers shipped out with win 2k on it rather than a win9x system.
