To all,

      Anybody using or planning to use Microsoft XP Pro on their NT 4.0
network as workstations? If so, what are the migration challenges
associated with network policies and existing logon credentials? Also, I
have been told that XP is "the version 2.0 of Windows 2000". If this is
true, would it be prudent to invest in Win 2000 for workstations now OR
figure out how to integrate XP. I have also been pondering upgrading my
servers from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 Server Edition. But with the XP
question out there, I am not sure. There is no Server version of XP and the
Pro version can not act as a server. And, there is a not-to-steep learning
curve out there for the new version interfaces. Sooooooooooooo...... my
fellow computerites..... what should be the next upgrade path? I feel I
need to work out a plan now to replace my Windows 98 workstation software
by Fall 2002. What are you all doing (those of you that find yourself in my
position)??

Thanks in advance for any comments and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Roy
