Windows 2000 Shipment Delayed REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT - news).'s long awaited update to Windows NT won't ship to users until next February. Windows 2000, Microsoft's next generation network operating system for business and corporate use, has already been delayed for more than a year. The Redmond software giant has been saying recently that Windows 2000 would ship before the end of 1999, but said yesterday it would not actually be available until Feb. 17. --- Why can't anyone get this right? Is reporting really so difficult? Microsoft has been stating the following for months now: - RTM in 1999 - Available on store shelves in early 2000 This is not news! Sheesh! - Eric (I feel better now. Thanks for the soapbox :))

Jim: I don't think that this is a big story and will have no great efect on MSFT. They will be going to the manufacturer beforer the beginning of the year and by the time they ship it it will be Feb. In the meantime they have given us guidance to higher earnings for the next qrtr. W2K is a year 2000 product and so it is probably being released at about a time that represents the balancing between having the product right vs. a need for new revs. I am having a hard time believing these small most recent slippages are having such an impact. I think this is fear over the DOJ and SSB's reduction of INTC's numbers which is bogus anyway. JFD
