Support for Windows NT 4.0 Server is due to cease at year's end, but the many users of the aging Microsoft Corp. operating system will find plenty of options for help as they plot migration strategies. IBM two weeks ago said it would offer free migration classes and some discounts on software and services for those who opt to move from Microsoft products to IBM enterprise software running on Linux. In an interview with Computerworld, Hebert highlighted some of the promotions partners have been offering to NT users, such as Hewlett-Packard Co.'s program to allow users who trade in their old NT 4.0 hardware to get either a 15% or $15,000 discount off the list price of a new box.
