<<We'd see this market segment first implement Active Directory than companies going wholesale for their current network into a Windows2000-based one. See that type of migration can be very costly and lengthy. It's much easier to migrate from Windows NT4 than say Unix at this time. Even if MSFT can make a case for that migration, the return on that investment will take longer than a Win NT 4 network.>> Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I have read that to even take full advantage of the limited features offered by Active Directory, that every desktop will have to be migrated to Windows 2000 Workstation as well. Contrary to what you have read, NT Workstation is probably being used on about 5-6% of the desktops in corporate America (everyone else Win 95, some Win 98). I wonder if the market understands what is going to be required of corporate America to upgrade to the latest iteration of Windows, when it is ultimately shipped. MSFT may have to give away the desktop to get people to migrate. They may really be painting themselves into a corner this time. jww
