You've got to be kidding me
We just managed to get our entire network of 300 systems running on win2k. We have a nice standardized setup and everything works for the most part. Last week we went to order 30 more systems and our provider told us they are not selling systems with w2k any longer, so we have to purchase machines with XP. We asked why and it's because MS won't provide win2k licenses to them any longer, same goes with office. So where is this choice you are talking about. I now have to un-standardize my network due to the fact that MS is forcing me to buy a product that I don't want.
