It turns out that "cost" and "transition" are two major problems. Naturally, the construction of a new system will cost huge amounts of funds, including the personnel expenses necessary for verification. Also, migrating system software developed by spending time and budget to a new operating system is not much of a normal thing (although it is different if OS compatibility exists).

And this problem naturally leads to a cost problem. Of course, finally it is essential to shift to the OS within the expiration date. However, as long as there is circumstance in which it can not be done quickly, there is a need to grasp what is to be done and what to do.

From now on, how long will it remain as Windows 2000, is also a security concern.

Server 2003 Embedded is well supplied since it is supplied until 2018.
I am surprised that MS - DOS and NT were still licensed.

Surely this is Odoroki.
