Kash - Re: "Do you see this delay in MSFT release of Windows 2000 being significant."

It is not significant for the Intel Profusion chip set - since both should be ready to go by the end of this year.

Due to Y2K issues, I doubt that Windows 2000 and/or 8-way Xeons would be purchased in any large quantity this year.

Thus, evaluation servers with 8-Way Xeons and Profusion and Windows 2000 will be bought this year with the main ramp starting next year.

Re:"Is this with a beta version of win2K or some NT cluge."

Good question.

I'll have to read the press releases to dig that out.

"Several outfits announced 8 way servers with Sept delivery last week using profusion and mentioned their record Tpc scores etc.

Is this with a beta version of win2K or some NT cluge."

It isn't Windows2000 or an "NT cluge".

Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition (NTSEE) supports up to 8 CPUs out of the box. There are also OEM-specific versions that will support up to 32 CPUs.
