Microsoft and Server programs

Now, I amy be rehasing an old subject (most probably) but I have noticed, by Microsofts copious advertising campaign that there will be a new NOS out on the market this year, Server 2003. All I can say is:

Hasn't Microsoft learnt anything?

Hey have 2k, and 3 years from a NOS, especially for the price outlay, is not near long enough. Sure, it may look good on paper, but surely most SMEs cannot afford such an outlay on ANOTHER NOS, especially when they have just updated to 2k.

Am I being unreasonable? Is Microsoft just? Am I rambling?
