Like Cynthia that decision is made at the campus IT level. Over the past year I've migrated nearly all lab and staff PCs from XP to Win7 (keep an eye out for a related question I'll be posting later today on that topic). Campus IT is toying with some Win8 images, but haven't been happy with any of them. Given that they're still finishing up their XP migrations, though, I seriously doubt we'll be moving to 8 anytime soon, if ever. -Bill Helman Integrated Digital Services Librarian.
