Microsoft is still releasing patches for Windows 2000. The decision to upgrade should be based on one thing: Need. If you don't need to upgrade, then don't. I made the argument that I needed to upgrade because my chosen career is in computers, and if I start falling behind now, then I will become as old and crusty as the career computer people I used to make fun of when I was too young to know better in college right out of high school. If there is one obvious thing about the Microsoft/Apple/(linux?) war its that everyone has an opinion, just like politics. It is impossible to find unbiased reporting, so the only choice is to either form your own opinion with the facts or form an opinion based on what biases you already have and on the opinions of those you listen to, with the understanding that those people may not have started with the facts either.
