I agree, that Win2000 is killing NT 4.0. There is really no comparison and
the performance and functionality of IIS5 is reason enough to make the
change. As for CF it is really performing better then it ever did on NT
4.0. I have yet to see any independent tests showing a degradation of
Win2000 compared to NT4.0. I have been deploying it since last December and
I was a beta tester as well. I have moved all 60 of my servers to 2000 and
could not be paid to go back.
Just my 2 cents as well...
