Web users at risk as 600,000 machines continue to run Windows Server 2003

Netcraft, which collated the figures, reckons that 175 million websites are directly served from a Server 2003 computer.
Microsoft's out-of-range support costs a rumoured $600 a machine, so the potential cost for those who ignored the opportunity to get on a migration path in good time is getting huge, whatever they decide to do. ยต
The biggest issue is to actually get people to migrate. Many run decade-old quick&dirty scripts, fiddled together by aspiring webmasters back then who started with ASP, or even compiled their own binaries.
