Aloha Brian,
Here at Royal State Group, 90% of our employes are using Win95/NT. We
asked the same question for our corp. side and decided that for what the
users are doing, switching over to a support OS is not needed. In fact, it
would cost us more because of the hardware cost that would go with the OS
upgrades. I hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Brian

Subject: [luau] think(?) piece...
k g[uys|als]........i need some info for a piece that i'm writing.
i know that some of you out there administer/maintain/curse at a whole slew
of windows burdened computers. what i'm wondering is, is for those of you
still running
9*/NT4.0, what are you planning on doing when Bill Brother totally drops
support for
those platforms?
according to an article on zdnet ( link is on another computer ) about 15%
of
the companies/it managers were considering linux ( or some other open source
solution ) simply because of microsofts new licensing scheme. does this
affect any of
your businesses that are moving to XP?
basically, what i'm looking for here, is any _constructive_ thoughts you
might have as
administrators/it managers/solution providers that can be used as convincing
arguments
for going the way of the Penguin. ( almost sounds like a bad kung-fu movie
don't it? )
neway, thanks in advance.
