Did you miss the part about having limited or no access to install additional software? Whois, Dig, and host are not part of Win2k by default, and afaik they are not part of WinXP either. I suppose if his company is installing Win2K Server on his workstation he might fare better. Still, I don't see it being a very productive move.
How can you traceroute, ping, dig, whois, host, etc. Honestly, Windows is for users not gurus. Admittidly it's a good desktop, but it by no means is a power OS for administration of networked systems.
Get a new job, better boss, more pay, more respect, etc.
The rest of us use it unlimited for less than $30 per month for access all over the world. Of course, there are those that may want to pay $10 per hour for access and may also choose not to drink Homebrewed coffee.:)

One word: Royalties.
"Cost" is the production cost. Absent is the per-viewing royalties paid out to artists, other production professionals, directors, and producers.
It depends on how you view it
It depends on whether or not you charge for it.

If the up2date service is NOT going to continue, will a refund be made to those whose pre-paid service agreement is prematurely terminated?
