Microsoft is planning to retire Windows 2000

According to this story at the register http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26077.html

Microsoft is planning to retire Windows 2000 as far as OEMs concerned.

What effect, if any, will this have on the w2k MCSE track?

I can't answer your question, but I hope someone can...I am really curious! I love 2000 and hate XP, so all I can say is if MS isn't careful...I may just focus on Linux!

They can't be serious they let go of support for WIN98 in 2003.
Win2000 is by far the best OS ever.

Wink No they are not .........

In my opinion, and after reading the article W2K is not being retired it all has to do with the new Licensing 6.0 changes.

It is my understanding that MS usually still supports an OS for a few years after the next version. Look how long they still supported NT4. I think our certs will be good for a while. I know of some companies still running NT4 because they fear the "unknown". The main thing is having the skills to support the products that ARE on the market.

General availability of Win 2K to end March 2003 (If you believe MS).

If your staying current with the direction MS is going in this absolutely makes sense.The future of MS is pinned on .NET.XP on the client side will become the predominant OS.More companies will move to XP than moved to 2K.This being said incorporating and migrating to .NET enterprise servers on the backend will not be as difficult or expensive as migrating from NT4 and developing an AD infrastructure.This is a least true for my company.Remember Im talking enterprise level(10,000+ users) and this is where MS will truly leverage the .NET framework and usher in thier vision Web services, information anytime anywhere on any device..

This is only my opinion based on my experience.
