Microsoft doesn't need an aura. They need results. I just spoke to one of our customers today, about when they think they would transfer their $150,000 a piece hardware product to Windows 2000. The answer was, that there were no plans for that because: 1) Some drivers are missing in order to use all pointing devices that are needed (digitizers). 2) The supplier, Compaq, wasn't able to deliver Windows 2000 on the PCs involved, because the approved SCSI card wasn't support with Windows 2000. Windows 2000 is the first Microsoft platform that wasn't supported shortly after the release. Nobody expects to support it before summer 2001 or later. This has nothing to do with Microsoft bashing. This is the result of Microsofts design decisions with Windows 2000. And those decisions were not good.
