Leizabeth and all,

Many agencies, including their attorneys are just now transitioning to Windows 7. My agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, just this week is getting the upgrade to 7. Our HQ OGC, in HHS has recently transitioned to Windows 7, encountered some problems, and are smoothing them out with the IT folks, this will be a Windows 7 environment for quite a while.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me which Microsoft operating systems are now being used in federal agencies hiring attorneys?

I'm tempted to assume and to hope that Windows 7 is and remains the standard, but common sense tells me that if change could happen, it probably will.  I realize that Microsoft has been threatening for a long time to withdraw support for Windows 7, and to throw all its weight now to 8.1.

But there are still troglodites like me out there still grudgingly letting go of Windows XP, and governments change more slowly than I do.

So, what's the straight skinny?

Thanks,

Elizabeth Rene
Attorney at Law
