Et Tu, 2000?

Article pointing out that Microsoft is going to begin the retirement process for Windows 2000 starting in April, 2004. This is certainly much too soon, in my opinion, and given W2K's considerable advantages over NT4.0, and seeing how resistant that latter OS has been to universal upgrade, I would expect similar heels-digging over W2K.

After all, if you have implemented an Active Directory installation and have it working, the chances are that any hair remaining on your head is grey or white, so why would you want to go through this all over again?

Either the difference between 2K and 2003 is so major that significant planning and BST will have to be extended on it, or else the difference is minor, in which case, why upgrade at all?
