Gartner to believe that the adoption rate of Windows 2000 will be tentative this year and noticeably faster in 2001. "Of the installed base of NT 4 servers, 3 to 6 percent will go to Windows 2000 by year's end. Then we think the number goes as high as 38 to 40 percent by year-end 2001," Gartenberg said. IDC's numbers were slightly different. Kusnetzky predicted that about 20 percent of Windows server systems would use Windows 2000 by year's end. EMC's Data General division, a server maker that has backed away from Unix in favor of Windows, believes that by the end of the year 40 to 45 percent of its servers will be shipping with Windows 2000, said Bob Guilbert, director of software marketing.
