Still testing
The goobermint is a rusty machine. Each step pained by the constant maintenence required just to oil the joints. Most orgs in the .gov are still testing Windows 7.

Example:
A ticket comes in with a Win7 question or issue. The response is "Who let that guy use Win7?", "Are we supporting Win7?", "I don't think it's compatible with that application". I constantly have to remind people that M$ has gone to great lengths to create tools like ACT that can evaluate and sometimes fix compatibility issues. Most are reluctant to even take the ticket.

Ironically, just yesterday I overheard someone talking about a new application that was licensed for use. I remember hearing "Oh, that application was developed for Win7. It may not be completely compatible with WinXP". This is what it is going to take to get them to move.
