well, I need to justify to my client, why to switch to sql2005 form 2000. I
know a lot of 'why it's better', but my client don't really care most of
those aspects.
I need to argue, my client's business gains on that.
Thnaks in advance.

6½ to be precise. :-)
"If its not broken doesn’t fix it" doesn't apply to most IT platforms
these days, b'coz of the cost of running legacy/obsolete systems. Plus
the cost of employing IT personnel
So like it or no Microsoft is going to discontinue support for SQL
Server 2000. Therefore your client’s got ~ 1 1/2 years to upgrade to SQL
Server 2005. (Unless with Extended Support)
To be perfectly honest, I don't think is a very good argument for
upgrading to SQL 2005. It rather makes the argument "we can be on all
this update trains, so we wait for the next one". And Microsoft has
indicated that from now, it's a two-year release cycle for SQL Server.

Erland makes a good point. The essence of any argument about
upgrading is that eventually they will have to upgrade, either to SQL
2005 or some other version. The question is: do they want to be
proactive, and take time to plan it, or do they want to be reactive,
and have their schedule for upgrading dictated by market forces.
None of our vendors that supply SQL Server products require SQL 2005,
but I'm betting that new releases this year will begin requiring SS2005
databases. In other words, our current apps don't require 2005, but
future versions may. I'd rather start planning for that contingency
now than be forced into it by a necessary patch for a vendor software.
I'm not saying that upgrades are the only option; could always buy a
new server for applications that require SS2005.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
