I have heard that only 60% of the software is compatible.

I've heard that, but talking about NT to 2003. Only 60% of NT software works on 2003. Haven't heard anything about 2000 software though.

The % of 2K software that works on 2K3 is much higher (probably upper 90's) than software designed for NT 4. The only software I can think of that doesnt run on 2K3 Server is Exchange 2000 server.

For the record there are many applications that will not allow you to install them on the Windows Server lines because the vendor has a "server version" of their software that they want you to run on your servers. Some more examples of this would be Diskeeper and many Virus Scanners.

Very true. Most well written applications for 2k will work on 2k3. If it modfies the schema of AD you'll probably have problems with it. That's why Exchange 2000 doesn't work on 2k3 (this will probably change with SP4 of Exchange though). SQL 7 and SQL 6.5 also do not work on 2k3. But both were written to run on NT4 originally. Exchange 5.5 also does not work.
