I smell big biometrics here - some quotes - ``I believe the adoption rate will be strong,' Dell told a news briefing after his speech. ``We see a lot of interest in Windows 2000, and our Dell technical consulting practice has seen a lot demand.' Dell said his company, the No. 1 direct seller of personal computers that relies heavily on the Internet, had flipped the switch and jumped to a Windows 2000-based system last Wednesday. He touted the reliability and flexibility of Windows 2000, the release of which Microsoft had repeatedly delayed as it continually massaged the software's more than 30 million lines of code. ``This is a huge and very important leap forward in terms of what customers want from their PCs and the related products that go around it,' Dell said. But Dell said his company was working with such high-profile customers as Wall Street brokerage firm Merrill Lynch, American Express, TWA airlines and leading job Web site Monster.com to deploy Windows 2000. Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F - news) also gave the platform a thumbs-up, with its Chief Information Officer Jim Yost saying the American car giant planned to complete a total Windows 2000 make-over by early 2001. dailynews.yahoo.com Rick
