 The current version of MySQL is 3.23. I have no time upgrading my dedicated
 server to a RedHat machine with custom PHP and MySQL, I don't have the time
 to do that.

 Who think we could make them make the right move and pretty quickly?



When you do leave, make sure and tell them why. Also stress your
opinion of their move to MS software.

Save your energy and just move your web site to another host.

Don't be too impressed by extravagent bandwidth claims.  In a shared 
hosting environment, where servers are often grossly overloaded, you'll 
either have very little chance of reaching those bandwidth numbers, or if 
you do, you'll be asked to upgrade or close your account because of the 
high processing load needed to push that much traffic.

Who is GoDaddy and should I care? Is this an international issue?

I'm guessing that you are young and haven't had enough experience with
idiots.

Simply change vendors.  GoDaddy will not bend to accommodate you.
