W2K (Windows 2000) is going to initiate massive hardware and software sales. I have been using W2K and have upgraded my desk top and loking forward to new software releases that take advantage of the power of W2k. Yes you can run your old system on it (well sort of) but you will want to upgrade your hardware to take more advantage of its power. W2K is where Microsoft was headed with NT, and they decided to take the Win95/98 route to make more money to get there. Software is a bigger issue, and there will be new versions of everything to take advantage of W2K. This has happened to some degree with every operating system upgrade. Unless users reject W2K, IMO software upgrades and hardware sales look good for the end of the 1st quarter and the second quarter.
