Aside from the fact it takes a long time to do such things, its also incredibly expensive and complex.
(do you know how many computers the NHS has ?, last estimate I heard was in the hundreds of thousands).
Just imagine the cost of liceces for all of them, plus many would not have the hardware to support newer windows versions, so that needs replacing as well, and then there is huge amount man power needed to change them over.
Its not some 5 minute job.
