Windows 2000 Finally Dies

Microsoft plans Windows 2000 Server retirement. The retirement announcement comes eight months after the introduction of Windows Server 2003, the successor to Windows 2000 Server. I'm sad to see it go... mostly because from a developers standpoint, Windows 2003 (and XP) is such a pain to deal with because of the pain in the *** licensing scheme. Gone are the days where I can just take a Win2K CD and install it on a few servers if I just need to do some testing to get my work done. Gone are the days where I can be more productive so the company I work for can sell more Microsoft products!
