Subject: Server flood soon
Microsoft is dropping support for NT server in
January,
Is that NT4 Server or Win2k server or both?
(I thought NT4 support ceased some time back? Or was there some post SP6?
and what I am
hearing from many sources is that ALL NT systems either go XP or out the
door.
Seems unlikely. I'd say plenty will hang around for some time yet.
Particularly in
small business.
I'm sure Bill would like to see everyone immediately dump all their NT4
boxes for
XP Server and Intel would be overjoyed at a rush of buyers for new servers
capable
of handling the XP Server bloatware. Doesn't mean it will happen in a hurry
though...
Upside is some very nice home server systems might pop up on the surplus
market
as the well off corporate Lemmings race to obey the will of the Dark
Lord....
