Re: The major problem with W2003
As MS is the only "enterprise" thas ask you to upgrade its product once every eleven year.... how many of the products you buy from other "enterprises" last and are supported for so long? Phones? TV sets? Cameras? Domestic appliances? Cars? Clothes? Shoes?
Why in an "enterprise" nobody complains if cars, phones, offices are upgraded, but if an old operating systems needs to be upgraded it's a problem? Just because you can't show off with it?
Face it - it's a recurring cost because it gets obsolete as everything else - and its substitution should have been planned far before. If you didn't and wasted money in something else, well, you're just a bad IT manager.
