I wonder if there is a reddit thread with people showing off their surviving Windows XP setups. Mine is a dell tower laying on its side because I harvested a power supply unit from another dell, but it doesn't fit in the case.
This is a definite reality and headache. The learning curve was steep and I literally had somebody walk out after training them for less than two hours.
I remember training a new hire on her first day and, about an hour in, she said she needed a coffee break. I never saw her again lol.
Typically the first two weeks of training revolved around new hires asking why in the world we used this system before their spirits broke and they reluctantly plunged into the deep end...kind of like being released into the matrix.
Heh, I can relate. We employ a lot of Linux and Windows admins, for them it's usually not a big problem.
We also have a small finance team (typically around 2 employees), and finding somebody with a finance/billing background who is willing to work with TUI on Linux... that was a challenge :-)
Train capacity is also sharply reduced during a downturn by stowing cars to keep prices elevated. Having an alternate option (an option with capital overhead that makes it more difficult to park during a downturn) will hopefully force more competition during those times.
