CNBC says that retail version of Windows2000 available in Feb/2000. So what does that mean? I guess it means that they are not only targetting business customers but want individuals to also consider switching to a NT platform. --- Windows 2000 being available in a retail version won't be anything new. Every version of NT has been available that way. All "retail version" means is a box with a CD and some other miscellany in it that's suitable for a shelf in a computer store, as opposed to an OEM version (provided with a new computer) or a Select/Open/Enterprise Agreement (where a corporation gets one set of CDs and just buys paper licenses to use them). - Eric
