Paul, RE: You're most likely correct - since the Win 2K will apply to servers, workstations and VERY high end, specialized PCs - not the big volume segment of PCs. Actually, I have been surprised in my conversations with several CIOs. It appears to me that in the corporate world that there are going to be a lot more desktops that will be upgraded to Win2000, just to maintain consistency with the higher end stuff. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me (I'm staying with NT 4.0) but the upgrades may surprise a lot of people on the upside.

Paul, re: <You're most likely correct - since the Win 2K will apply to servers, workstations and VERY high end, specialized PCs - not the big volume segment of PCs. However, the Win 2K segment is very high priced machinery, nonetheless.> Subsequent posts (from others) make me think that maybe W2K will have more volume than I was assuming. Also, Microsoft hypes a new product release better than anyone in the industry (maybe excepting Apple). The stock market (today) certainly thinks Intel's prospects are pretty darn good! John
