Assuming you are working at present with a Win2K + Samba setup, and are perfectly happy and content with the way it is going, should it not be incumbent upon you, according to the general principles of Due Diligence - which regularly scrap companies that ignore them - to ask Microsoft why?
Microsoft is in effect advising your company that Win2K3 will not interoperate with Win2K. If you need to make expensive changes which will invalidate your current setup, and Microsoft is adamant that that is the case, then Microsoft should take upon itself the cost of that restructuring, instead of handing it on to you. After all, Microsoft has regularly advised the world that it only makes changes because of the customers who _demand_ them - and if your company didn't make those demands, then you are not under any licensing or contractual obligation to tolerate the changes made. Anything less and I would advise you to take it to the shareholders and get them asking embarrassing questions about Due Diligence. And BTW, IANAL, BILA (But I like Acronyms).
