<<I believe that the building resentment against Microsoft's abusive tactics and undisputed monopoly powers will take an additional swing into negative territory come the new year, when core PC applications start going flakey. It certainly doesn't make sense to hold the tool builder responsible for the fact that your house collapsed, but the tool builder -- Microsoft in this instance -- has set themselves up for a mighty fall by turning a largely deaf ear to desktop Y2K risks.>> Thanks, David <ggg> we can add that I'm not totally convinced that my server's NT4.0 network or the Win95 OS on my workstations, are going to cooperate either. But I'll wait for the patches until January. Either the whole WinTel house of cards will collapse and it won't matter, or I'll back date and download them after Jan 3. Since you wrote that piece on Windows 2000, we have learned that it will be introduced next year. HE (Billy G) too probably wants to be assured that it will work. Heard a mediator was assigned. Perhaps he wants to settle reeaalll fast, before the business masses rise up and do him bodily harm in January. I don't think they can do it in 40 days! Bill (P)
