Sure, that's always a option, until MS stops releasing non-Palladium patches (just like they planning to stop NT4 patches). > Let's turn the question around a bit: if it is not backwards > compatible, how am i going to upgrade a 150.000 usr network? Palladium isn't just software update like W2K -> XP, it's hardware upgrades as well. So if you want upgrade you're network your probably have to buy som new computers. And by the look of it all major hw-manufacturers are members of TCPA (and Palladium?) so in the Orwellian-future, you can't rely on cracked patches (does anyone _trust_ cracked patches btw?) to keep your network up and running. /Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.northernsecurity.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.se.linux.org _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
