Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Windows 2003 66-95% faster the Linux

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Not necessarily.  You may purchase new hardware for more user accounts and additional software requirements that still includes support for your old applications.  A new server system is NOT necessarily built to replace your old software and applications, but provide greater speed and allow more users to use those same set of applications, or typically add an application to an existing set.  This means you need backwards compliancy on new hardware and software.  Now, if you can afford to upgrade your software (either through upgrade or rewriting the software) that's great, but not every business can afford to do this.
