I hear you ... the bank I worked at in Colorado had its entire teller line still on NT 4.0, and probably still does. Of course, it was behind several layers of firewall.
The difference between that bank and where I work now, though, is that the bank had a completely static configuration -- all the software that was ever going to need to be on those machines already was, and updating them was never going to happen either (no need to).
Here, though, all the machines are in production, and people come through the door all the time expecting us to be able to install modern software on these systems. Making matters worse, many of them are 64-bit.
