If you think Windows Vista might be a hard sell when 2007 swings around, Microsoft still has work convincing some of its customers to upgrade to Windows Server 2003. According to results gathered in conjunction with MCPmag.com's annual salary survey, only 71 percent of respondents have deployed the network operating system; almost 17 percent plan to migrate to it by the end of this year and next. Remember, this is a survey of 1,700 readers of Redmond Magazine and MCPmag.com newsletter subscribers, who work in primarily Microsoft shops.
Mark Hoffman, a network administrator for Zeochem in Louisville, Kentucky, doesn't anticipate a move to Longhorn Server unless "there is some substantial benefit," he says. "We are just now moving to Windows 2003," Hoffman adds.
