Wow!!! Microsoft back on the growth track?!?
7:02 PM ET Sep 25, 2000

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Microsoft President Steve Ballmer will have to convince a crowd of analysts and investors Tuesday that new high-end server computing products can accelerate the Wall Street juggernaut's profit growth.

...

Called Windows 2000 Data Center Edition, the operating software will be the brains behind new computers made by Compaq (CPQ: news, msgs) Dell Computer (DELL: news, msgs) and Hewlett-Packard (HWP: news, msgs) designed to tackle heavy-duty computing chores. As many as a dozen new computers will be announced at the company's Tuesday event, according to a research manager with Framingham, Mass.-based International Data Corp.

In February, Microsoft demonstrated that a test version of its Data Center product could power a mainframe-like computer with as many as 12 processors working together.

"It's going to get Microsoft into a lucrative space," Gillen said.

"This is a big fire sale, on Microsoft and Compaq. When the Win 2000 server version comes out, surely someone will notice."
