[NTLUG:Discuss] Strainge Request, Maybe?

The best case may be the financial one.  Be sure that their proposals
include recurring licensing costs, new HW costs, etc.

Other good arguements are _valid_ security ones, remote management,
flexibility, etc.  You need to make the call as to which is best for
your suits.

MS learns well.  The Windows 2000 series is much more stable than
either the 9x or NT software.
