andrewduckerHere's the windows support timeline. You'll notice that Windows 95 is long gone, unless you've got paid extended support, 98 and 98SE went a couple of months ago. ME will drag the carcass of DOS on for another 14 months (26 if you pay for support) and then that vanishes too, and it's all NT based from there on out.
Speaking of NT based - you'll see that unless you've got the Security Roll-out Package, NT4 isn't supported, and even with that NT4 dies this Christmas. Is your company dependent on NT4? Has anyone told them that their support is going away?
Oh, and if you're not on IE6, then pretty soon you're going to have to patch holes all on your lonesome.
I can think of a few places that are going to have to run an update or two...
