I'd gladly upgrade all the systems here - if it wasn't for one major point.
$IMPORTANT_BIT_OF_BUSINESS_SOFTWARE does not run on anything other than Windows.
If the developer was prepared to spend the £££ required to re-write this product so it would run on $INSERT_OS_OF_YOUR_CHOICE then I'd do so.
But they can't/won't. So I'm stuck with it.
And before anyone else starts, there is no comparable product that isn't also Windows only. Trust me, I've looked.
