2 maybe 3 years.

The move off windows is going to happen, I don't know when or how fast but
I talk to a lot of IS types working at the ISP and all of them are getting
more and more upset with the path MS has chosen for windows. These people
are not going to keep eating shit from MS forever.

Personally my guess would be in 2010 when they take W2K off life support
we'll see the first wave. Until then W2K is a viable option but at that
point people will have to either accept activation or move.
