I believe they have EOL'd NT 4. And are you serious about the rest of your comment? The vast majority of businesses will opt for (a). If computers are that important to their business they'll be replacing machines as they age and the new machines will have a newer OS.
What about the software that ran their business before? Who's to say it will work on Windows Vista Server, or whatever is out at the time.
Plus ... geez, NT came out in 1996 or so. Upgrade already.
I co-oped at a manufacturing plant that still ran core manufacturing processes on VAX bigger than 2 refrigerators from the 1980's along with Windows NT4 servers. I'm sure it took many millions of dollars to develop those systems.
Like it or not, legacy systems abound. Nobody hates dealing with them more than me.
