Windows NT USERS: BEWARE
Microsoft® has retired Windows NT Workstation support and in just a few months support for Windows NT for Servers will be obsolete. What does this mean to you? Microsoft will no longer be providing any fixes or security enhancements for NT, leaving NT users vulnerable to technical problems and viruses. If a new virus spreads that attacks NT vulnerabilities, you will be left without protection.

To protect yourself, you need to upgrade NOW. 

Migrating Your Desktops
Upgrade your desktops to the enhanced stability of Microsoft Windows® XP Professional to make your business more productive and secure. According to eTesting Labs, it’s at least 10 times more reliable than Microsoft Windows 98, with the following improved features:

  • Increase Productivity – An intuitive user interface increases usability an average of 12 percent. And Windows XP Professional supports Microsoft Office 2003 Editions – one of the latest advances in office productivity.
  • Increased stability – In a test against previous versions, Windows XP Professional kept performing for 31 days without rebooting.
  • Enhanced security – Your data will be safer with Windows XP Professional. An encrypting file system helps protect your sensitive information, while Windows Firewall helps guard against common attacks, reducing IT costs and enhancing security of business systems.

Upgrade rebates up to $15,000
As an added incentive, Microsoft is offering a rebate of up to $15,000 when you upgrade your desktops to Windows XP Professional, depending on your volume licensing agreement.
