RE: <Since I'm managing the product launch of some of those boxes (for October), I am absolutely positive that you are incorrect. We are putting 64M into the boxes for the launch and have no plans to increase that. You may be correct that it runs like a dog with 64M, but that isn't going to change the base model.> You may launch your laptops with 64 MB but people who will ship and expect to sell serious W2K desktops will start at 128 MB.

Dave, You can be sure that W2K boxes will ship with at least 128 MB if not much more. Since I'm managing the product launch of some of those boxes (for October), I am absolutely positive that you are incorrect. We are putting 64M into the boxes for the launch and have no plans to increase that. Are you implying a Windows 2000 launch of some kind in October? If so, isn't this bullish for Microsoft and just about everyone else in the business (well, not Sun). Tony
