Golly, we’re still getting along okay with Win2008 R2 and MSSQL 2008.

But you’re telling me corporations are spending money on IT infrastructure again? You mean, actually buying new rack mounted server blades and migrating to new server OS versions?

Wow, wonder what that’s like. I’m pretty sure most of the planet is still using Office 2007.

IMO that was the last version of Server I could use without puking. 2012 R2 grafted Metro and it makes me ill every time I have to manage the machines that have it.

It's a brand new world out there!!

Office 2003 for me, with the 2007 Compatibility Pack so I can read/write the zipped XML file formats. Seriously. I just today installed 2003 with the pack on a brand-fresh Windows 10 VM (hosted on my Linux workstation) so I have something that opens Word Docx correctly.

Yeah, I know about LibreOffice and OpenOffice, and I run those too. But some days I need the real thing because of what people send me. arrrrrgh.
