johnd: All great points. I think W2K has surprised MSFT. Why? Well they are now telling retail consumer that W2K can't access MSN without IE 5.1 or a workaround. To me this indicates that this product targeted for the business community is being rapidly adopted by the home user. A number of posters on this board have extolled the compatibility and stability of W2K for desk top use on this board which quite frankly came as a pleasant surprise to me who thought that this product was strictly an office deal. Further if consumers are willing to pay up for W2K what does this do to the argument of Jackson. Is MSFT forcing people to buy this before they come with the cheaper Millenium? NO! They want the quality of the product and they are willing to pay for it. This just proves that if you continually improve a product as MSFT has throughout the years consumers are willing to pay up for the improvements. JFD
