The next release of Microsoft's server OS will be a .NET Server -- you can't always tell exactly what they are going to call it on final release though. Microsoft appears to be separating the server and client OS products and developers a little. Windows XP is essentially the next step to merging all desktop OSes into a single release.
However, given the size of your installation, I would say that you should not worry about rushing into it. Until you have a solid business reason for upgrading you probably shouldn't. For example, if you want to run applications that only run on Windows 2000 or .NET -- that is a viable business reason. If you are expanding your operation and need all of the Windows 2000 tools to be able to manage the operation, that is a viable business reason.
Of course, if you do not have a complex NT domain that needs to be migrated and simply have files servers in a single small domain, the migration is much less complicated. Watch out for hardware incompatibilities. Some of the older systems can have some issues running Windows 2000.
