I guess Microsoft is hoping that we will all forget how fast computers run Windows 2000 and XP, and just hope we will all upgrade to Vista or even the over-hyped Windows 7.
I've got a much better idea. How about a version of Windows just for business? You know, one that isn't bogged down with Digital Rights Management, because in business we're more interested in getting work done, rather then watching HD movies. And drop the high end graphics card requirements too. Really! You can do more with much less.
So do I really think that Microsoft is suddenly going to start producing products that businesses actually NEED? No!
That's why I highly recommend that you give CrossOver Office a try! Not only do you get Windows 2000 and XP support for your Windows applications, but you get great things called wine bottles.
Wine bottles allow you to have complete windows Applications isolated from each other. Easy to archive, easy to restore. One can be configured as Windows 2000, another Windows XP.
On the CodeWeavers website they have many listings of Windows applications along with the current status of how the application runs. Why give up your applications that work?
