“These three machines need to stay on Windows 98 because … .”
Anybody heard that before? Even companies with medium-sized user loads often have combinations of platform and software that make it temporarily impossible to upgrade to a modern operating system wholesale.

What’s worse, you’re not only supporting these platforms on their own; you’re supporting them as they try and interact with Windows 2000, Active Directory, and the Internet. All this without formal support from Microsoft. What’s a geek to do?
