I agree completely with you Scittish and King of CaveMen
most home users only care about surfing site or IM or whateve they like to. They dont care about update security or patch etc,. When home users look at the monitor and it looks work then go surf or so.

patch is more important as anti virus. Anti virus only scan on hardware, software virus. patch is part of ISP.

I think this has less to do with the people needing Win2K3 and more about Microsoft getting money for it. Patching Win2K and XP for the next 4 years isn't exactly generating money. Unfortunately, I think $$$ is forcing release of new software and not the software's necessity.
I feel that some people or company will not buy Win 2k3 because they are very tired to spend another thousand dollar or million dollar for that. When it s leak or so. They have to update patch and service pack 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10?? My opinion is all of companys and people will keep W2k for few years and wait to see what s up with w2k3. Most of home users love to use Win XP becuz wonderful graphic and beaituful graphic but suck for security. Like I said earlier "most home users only care about surfing site or IM or whateve they like to. They dont care about update security or patch etc,. When home users look at the monitor and it looks work then go surf or so. "
