Take a look at ZDNet & Eweek's reviews of XP Gold, they relaxed the WPA
(Windoze Product Activation) quite a bit. If you're under a Select or
Enterprise agreement with Mickey$oft, you won't have to activate the
product.

: As for clients, new machines and rebuilds are done as Win2k. Older
: (existing) clients are left as NT4 unless they must run Win2k.

: As for XP, unless they change the licensing I won't be upgrading. NT Admin

: I expecting there are a lot of opinions out there. Please, if you
: haven't experienced the migration from NT Server to Windows 2000 Server,
: please don't respond. What I am looking for is the advice of the guys
: and gals who've done the do, so to speak. I don't mean to sound like a
: jerk, please forgive me.
:
: Having said that, my question is simple: I haven't migrated my NT
: domain to Windows 2000 and Active Directory. I am totally jazzed on
: Windows 2000, by comparison, so am ready to migrate. Is there any
: reason to wait for .NET server or Windows XP Server, or
: what-the-heck-ever it is called?
: You folks that have made the migration, what is your take? Should I go
: ahead with my migration, then do the next version when it stabilizes in
: the market?
:
: You guys are in the trenches, and I hope will tell what the trade rags
: won't. Or maybe there isn't anything to tell? Thanks!
