This year gonna to be huge for Microsoft and all the box makers due to Y2k.

Think about this , you are a corp users which still running Window 3.1 with the old 406 machine, by the end of 1999, you have three choices:

1) Let your computer get confused on Jan 1, 2000 00:00:01

2) Throw away your computer on year 2000, and stop using computer.

3) Rush to the computer store buy a new computer and load with the latest win98 so
that you won't hve any y2k problem.

Can anyone guess here how many computers in this world are still 486 running with
Window 3.1 ? All these computers need to be upgraded by y2k.

So, this year Microsoft earning will double q after q, and I already see people rush to the store to upgrade their 486 machines with win98 OS, of course , most likely
all these upgraded computers will be loaded with office2k which will be available by June of this year.
