the windows 2000 software is in the pc that functions as the server for the wired network in my office. This is the same operating system that is currently on the desktop pc's in my office as well. I will be acquiring laptops for using AC in the rooms with patients as well as one additional desktop in my own office to use for AC. The new pc and laptop will have windows xp the older desktop's will have windows 2000. I would prefer to upgrade the software on the "network server" and the older desktop pc's (if cheaper) than buy all new pc's for the desktop stations.... currently 5.
The major program currently being run on the "server" is the PM program that we will be phasing out of..... we have been advised by software support that we can save this PM file and data to an external hard-drive to open up storage space on the server.
I am trying to prevent interface problems down the road between pc's functioning with windows 2000 and windows xp... and not break my limited bank in the process. I do know that pc's need to be upgraded.... and was looking at upgrading the older desktop pcs over the next 8 months.... but not all at once now... especially with it being the beginning of the year when cash flow is tighter as patients are meeting deductibles.
What, in your opinion would be more cost-efficient?
