Did any of you go to the launching of 2000? I did and was I impressed....not just with 2000 but more than anything with Msft and how they market their products. I went to the one in Southern California but all over the country (maybe all over the world for all I know) the same thing was happening. A very large ballroom in a fine hotel was rented for the presentation. Because of possible parking problems Msft had rented a part of a nearby shopping center for parking and ran buses back and forth so people could easily get to and from their cars and to the presentation. There was at least 1700 people and maybe over 2000. The first part was Steve Ballmer on video with several people he interviewed (some had a demo of 2000 that they had used for a few months to work out problems). The next part was also on video and was about uses of the product for businesses, schools and home use. Then there was a pause and there were free refreshments. Then there were two presentations...you chose... with actual people there presenting. Talk about introducing your new product in a lavish way...and to many many people...mighty impressive. No wonder I never sell covered calls on my msft stock or sell it (not that I have much but I'm sure glad I have some!!!!!) Freeus
