And I don't "remember" that Windows 2000 will be a big money maker -- suppose they gave an upgrade and nobody came? What will its selling point be? People here seem to think Windows 98 is adequate, so what will the motivation be to switch?

Ha ha! Perform this series of vi substitutions for the argument this spring:

:1,$s/98/95/
:1,$s/2000/98/

Remember how big a flop Win98 was going to be? Remember the snobbish reviews panning it as Win95.1? Remember the no-it-all writers saying there was no reason to buy it? Oops. Best selling OS ever so far.
