I work huge hospital/insurance company and they replaced all the Suns, VAXs and Alphas with IBM, Compaq, HP with windows version from NT up. Now all the nursing stantions and basic diagnostic stuff locks and needs constant care.

But in the Critical system like surgery, life surport and radiology they still run unix machines and they don't have all the issues. I hope I never see the day when those system run some for of windows.

I'm sure that if some golf outing with one of the VPs had enough "perks" they would do it. That one reason why we got ride of the Cisco infrastructure and now everything is being pushed to IBM blades.
