Bryce,
I understand and share your frustration's. However, after further research I'm beginning to disagree with everyones comment's regarding our (AGISS), "missing the Y2K boat". I'm starting to believe that the Y2K window of opportunity is now, and will surely last well beyond year 2000. I'm reading a memo now, written by the CEO of EDS, Gary Rudin. The headline reads, "Microsoft Will Not Guarantee That Windows 95 Will be Y2K - Ready". The article goes on to say...."Microsoft recently informed users that Service Pack 4, isn't altogether Y2K compliant". So now Microsoft is rushing a program called Service Pack 5. Now Service Pack 4 doesn't altogether work, and Service Pack 5 is being rushed to market. These are the programs that were supposed to fix Windows NT 4.0 and make NT Y2K compliant. Can you imagine how many Windows 95 and NT 4.0 users we have in the world? If EDS needs to upgrade 110,000 internal computer's to be Y2K compliant wouldn't you think the majority of the world would have unresolved Y2K issues also? Isn't EDS in the Y2K remediation business? Will post the article (dated 3-29-99) later. Again, I'm beginning to believe the Y2K whistle blew April 1,1999. Just my opinion.
Dan
P.S. How would you like to have the Win 98 upgrade commission on 110,000 computers? |
