O.T.: Blisenko, you must get your information straight if you want to be in the investing game. Win2000 is not a brand new operating system. It is an upgrade from NT4. It may have a lot of new code (such as the shell, Directory Services, compatibility fixes etc), but it is not a brand new Operating system. The main problem with Win2K is that it is a corporate demand driven product. Such products always launch slowly. In the case of Win3.1 and Win95, it was the consumer who gobbled it first and got the IT managers to install it in the corporations out of their own enthusiasm. Since the grass-roots support is lacking for win2k in the similar form, its adoption is left to the hands of IT managers which is a slower process and requires a lot of effort on Microsoft's part to sell the product to these guys (something they didn;t have to do in the past that much). IMHO, of course.
