You should never believe sales people when it comes to tech like this. It's like buying snakeoil from a charlatan. You will always need more of something, memory, HD space, processing power, tapes, backups, whatever.
If NT supports NTFS, couldn't he just buy a new HD, partition it to NTFS, then make a image with Norton Ghost or some other image software that is out on the net and drop it into the new HD? Few hours of downtime and then he doesn't have to worry about HD space for 10 years? I would think a space machine, a new HD, and a copy of a image program would fix all his problems. Make a copy of the hd, load it onto the new HD and play around with ti. Once you figure it out, then do a complete switch over.
One of my biggest clients is running proprietary software/hardware for win2k. For awhile I was getting him Intel boards that still support 2k til those became so hard to find I was having them shipped from overseas. When that started happening he had to switch over to winXP machines. I'm still finding him crazy shit like a socket775 motherboard that has ISA slot and runs a duel-core proc.
