My experience-
1) No problems upgrading from NT4 to W2K. But I had a fairly recent setup without a
lot of
legacy apps. You may want to run Microsoft's hardware-checker first, to identify any
hardware
that may need to be upgraded (video cards etc.)
2) IIS 5 is able to handle huge loads (Many tests show it outperforms Apache, and even
the ones
that show Apache better, IIS 5 is very close.) WiTango 2K server may be a bottle neck
as it is
not multi-threading.
3).NET? Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of Microsoft?
4) Upgrade to W2K server as soon as you can! It is so much faster, easier, better
than NT4.
