Microsoft is on vista now. And in two years,they will stop supporting xp/2000 like done it for windows 98 before.So what you think? I mean say now many companies are using XP as a main OS in all user PCs and Windows 2000 in server PCs. so when microsoft stops supporting xp and 2000 then what we can do? we have original licensed versions but now the upgrade patches can't available.As the scene for windows 98 users, we also have to use xp as it is. with its errors and all security threats.No more patches,no more service packs. so what we should do?
Should we buy Windows vista?
If so, then you must upgrade some PCs of your organization.Becasue vista has higher requirements.And also you have to check if all your current softwares work with vista or not.I mean its a big change and it needs big money to be spent.so what can be another choice?Linux?
Should we move onto Linux/Unix based OSs?
May be this is right choice for some,this is very challenging.Though Linux/UNIX based OSs are free/Open Source,you may require some paid softwares on that.But that can be managed in less price because almost all software packages have free/Open source options available.But main point is,users. yes,your PC users have to be ready to work on linux.May be they require some training,also say you have managed it,but if they are ready to do so.And upto they are redy, your work can be delayed.And this can be very big issue.
But as we think on this issues, can we expect one another point? can you guess what in my mind?ok let me tell you.May be someone release new OS which is same like windows and fre/Open source? But miracles rarely happens.Still you can get some linuxs which have windows look like UI.So users are comfortable to use and you don't need to waste your money to get new things.Though some training requires.but we can manage it.
This is a big issue for companies working on windows platforms and also on windows programming. Java,php,python etc... development can be done on Linux also.But don't worry. you can move onto the open source side easily if you know OOPS!Try your best.Try to get on Linux.BTW, i am using windows XP in my PC. :)

There has never been a better time to migrate to GNU/Linux. I urge you to give it a go.
