I almost feel sorry for our IT boffins.
Although, as they're basically EDS, they deserve much of the abuse.

However. I work for a fairly well known UK company. In fact, probably the most famous logo / brand name in the world (although we no longer make cars.) So, a company at the leading edge of technology, communicating round the world on VERY safety critical products. You my have guessed the name, but we are Really Respected.

We still use Windows 2000. And the default PDF reading sw is Acrobat Reader 3. Lord Delpus.

Don't blame EDS.
It's the stupid twunts in your IT deparment who signed the contract and allowed them to get away with infrequent and user driven updates. I worked for EDS and the number of times we tried to upgrade stuff only to be told "The customer doesn't want to upgrade." The customer might not but sure as hell their users do.

No problem sharing files between a bunch of Win2K PCs at home, got an XP machine as well (only because the video editing software won't run on anything else), any file transfers involving it end up being done at the XP end because XP file & print sharing is so hit-and-miss. From what I can tell files are either shared to nobody, or to the whole world and his fucking dog. Win2K, a c$ share and an Admin password and you're away, every single time.
