Thread, Gates and Microsoft making big promises about Win2000: As part of his talk, Gates demonstrated how Windows 2000 will make enterprise management easier. Windows 2000 promises to be more scalable for better load balancing and reliability, he said, enabling IT administrators to deploy applications across all servers. Also, check out the next paragraph about "2000 eliminating the Unix single point of failure issue", and then he implies mainframe class characteristics, and support for clustering.

Tony, just when DVD looks set to be the mainstream product for years to come, along comes Sharp with this announcement. Proving there is no such thing as a commodity business. You are either improving, innovating or standing still while others take your market away. Wow! 200 Gigabytes of data on a single disk! Thursday August 26 12:56 AM ET Japanese Researchers Say New Disc Holds 40 Movies TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese government researchers and Sharp Corp have developed a memory disc which can store 40 times more data than a digital video disc (DVD), a government researcher said Thursday. The new technology makes it possible to store 40 movies each two hours long on a single 12-inch (30.5 cm) disc, said Nobufumi Atoda, chief scientist at the National Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research. The new disc can store 200 gigabytes of data, compared with 4.7 gigabytes on a DVD disc, Atoda said. The research unit, part of the Science and Technology Agency, plans to work jointly with Sharp and three other Japanese companies to produce prototypes of the new disc and disc drive within two to three years, Atoda added. At 0430 GMT, Sharp's share price on the Tokyo stock exchange was up three yen at 1,732 yen.
