Jim - re: It looks like DELL will be shipping W2K workstations and servers for at least 8 days this quarter. Unfortunately, none of DELL's workstations or servers are currently on the Win2K Hardware Certification list... see microsoft.com They have only 3 product lines listed, the Dimension L series, the Dimension Xps T-600, and the Optiplex GX100. No workstations. No notebooks. No WebPC. Compare that to CPQ (directly above in the listing) which lists all the notebooks, PCs, and Workstations CPQ has produced over the last few years, 55 product lines in all. This is significant because many commercial customers can not buy a HW / OS combination if it is not on the list, since MS WILL NOT SUPPORT A SERVICE CALL if it is not on the list... This suggests to me that DELL does not plan to be very aggressive about actual shipments of Win2K enabled systems. It takes a while (3-4 weeks) to get through the certification test cycle at MSFT and we are only a week away from shipment. I think your optimism about Win2K shipments is misplaced.
