By short term, I am thinking a year or a year and some. The argument was real at the Win95 transition and certainly slowed down some of that transition, but the upgrade was perceived as being compelling since Win95 addressed some particularly stinky aspects of Win3.1. With the W2K transition, though, I'm not sure this is true, even though I certainly like WinNT as a base over Win9x myself.

I'm not suggesting that no one will buy it ... that would be just too funny! I am suggesting that some companies will make the move because of compelling reasons like the directory service, but that a lot of them will drag their feet because of the enormous cost in upgrading so many platforms, particularly if they just upgraded them all a couple years ago to get to Win9x.
