My industry sources tell me that Microsoft will NOT introduce another
operating system like Win2K, WinXP, etc because the update costs
(costs to keep the Windows OS from being attacked) are too high.
So I am trying to make plans for a CAREFUL movement from Win2K to
Linux, etc. Since many of us have Win32 tools, at least some part of
the system should still be able to run .

I was thinking that those of us faced with making the move should work
together to keep the costs of such a change as low as possible. Any ideas
on how/what we need to do? In this way, we can accumulate links and
notes from those very satisfied Linux gurus out there.

I figure we have about 2 years before MS drops Win2K support, maybe
5 before WinXP is dropped (Win98 was dropped last year).
