Well, for the desktops, it was an easy decision. My users typically reboot from 5 to 10 times a day with 98. Each boot takes about 5 minutes to the point where they are working again. That means each user is losing between 25 and 50 minutes a day in work time. The cost of the upgrade is $200. The company can make that up in about a week per person. As for support, as I tell people here, at my last company which was the same size, we all had W2K. If we had to go help with 3 computer problems in a day, it was a big day. All we do here is run around fixing 98 machines all day long.

"Why do we have to upgrade our NOS from NT to 2000 and our desktop OS from 98 to 2000/XP"? Any comments and/or links to articles would be appreciated.
