I am very aware of this risk I might be taking, i know the money you dont spend in licence you might have to spend it in cosulting hours. I really understand what you are saying.

Believe me I have been doing plenty of research and informs for upper level being objetive about the issue and the feedback I get is what I have mentioned.

I have the thought that both desitions (m$-Linux) are ok for me, get M$ (stay confortable) or turn to Linux (learn and run) but what I am really sure and I speack it out loud is that we cannot stay running under NT 4.0. That is something I cannot concieve and is more riski than taking "any" desition.

BTW masken. Thanks very much for your thoughts.
