On the clients:
* AutoCAD 2009 and Autodesk Inventor 2009 for drafting
* Quickbooks 2007 for accounting
* Fabtrol MRP for industry-specific estimating, inventory, and fabrication control
* A very large MS Access 97 database for many things
The employees spend about 90% of their day in Fabtrol, AutoCAD, or the MS Access database.
Servers:
* Two Win98 virtual machines for legacy applications that require serial modems
* A WinXP VM for Autodesk Inventor Vault
* A WinXP VM that allows ODBC access to the MS Access database, Fabtrol, and Quickbooks data
I currently spend much of my time writing JSP/Servlets to replace the MS Access database and Fabtrol so we can one day move to mostly Linux clients.
