I just hope ADF PCs are up for the challenge.
Two years ago they "upgraded" to Internet Explorer 7 which indicates a high dependency on back-end Microsoft products of the legacy kind.
One can lock a WAN/LAN down.
Still though: very curious.
And what about the Fed Parliament?

Want to hear something funny, or sad I guess.
Qld Public Service uses Windows 98 or 95, and have been told by Windows no more support next year.
Add another several hundred million added to the budget defict next year.
Wonderful to have competent people in charge.
And what about the Federal Parliament?
Is the former public servant who did the review the same Michael Roche, former Under Secretary of Defence Materiel?
If so, just goes to show these people never learn.
Anon, which public service in Queensland is that?
I know for a fact Queensland Health uses XP and is in the process of upgrading to Windows 7 now.
Which part of Qld public service is still running 95 or 98?
Curious.
Major portions.
Fine, can you name which ones, or is it a secret?
Oops, you are correct.Given wrong info.
However the estimated cost to change is about $200 million
Yep, it isn't cheap to upgrade that many desktops and a network as big as those maintained by all the various Qld Public Service departments.
Can Do has created a new "strategic" ICT sourcing department to overview all IT purchasing as a whole of Govt activity.
There is honestly no good reason for the majority of Govt Dept not to use exactly the same IT infrastructure, desktops, operating systems etc.
Hopefully it will go as planned...
Hopefully better than the Payroll debacle in Health.I hear other parts of the Qld Public Service will have potential problems on upgrade?
This is something that the Queensland health Department must be really proud of.
They still use three and a half inch floppy disks to transfer data to other organisations.
