DELL Moves Key Web Site to Windows 2000... news.cnet.com That Web site is responsible for half of the PC maker's revenue...hmmm....that's what I call a BIG bet <VBG>..!! Here are some of MSD's comments on Windows 2000... <<Dell today stressed the importance of e-commerce and the role of the new OS in that market. "If you imagine this whole Internet economy, there's a tremendous amount of friction in this world in the way the economy works," he said. By tying businesses together through data exchange standards such as XML (Extensible Markup Language), Windows 2000 will help "remove that friction." Dell personnel demonstrated an 11 percent performance gain in switching from Windows NT to Windows 2000 in a demonstration of Dell's own Web site. In addition, Ford Motor's chief information officer said his company will be moving many of its basic business processes to the new OS this year. Dell touted the new operating system's stability and said a solid Net connection is vital to business. Repeating a message heard from numerous companies these days, Dell said Internet connectivity is "as fundamental as electricity is in your infrastructure.">> Best Regards, Scott
